ADDENDUM
This Addendum contains information that relates to the L90 Line Differential Relay relay, version 4.9x. This addendum
lists a number of information items that appear in the instruction manual GEK-113210A (revision M2) but are not
included in the current L90 operations.
The following functions/items are not yet available with the current version of the L90 relay:
• Signal Sources SRC 5 and SRC 6
Version 4.0x and higher releases of the L90 relay includes new hardware (CPU and CT/VT modules).
• The new CPU modules are specified with the following order codes: 9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, and 9R.
• The new CT/VT modules are specified with the following order codes: 8F, 8H.
The following table maps the relationship between the old CPU and CT/VT modules to the newer versions:
MODULE OLD NEW DESCRIPTION

CPU 9A 9E RS485 and RS485 (Modbus RTU, DNP)
9C 9G RS485 and 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)
9D 9H RS485 and redundant 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)
-- 9J RS485 and multi-mode ST 100Base-FX
-- 9K RS485 and multi-mode ST redundant 100Base-FX
-- 9L RS485 and single mode SC 100Base-FX
-- 9M RS485 and single mode SC redundant 100Base-FX
-- 9N RS485 and 10/100Base-T
-- 9P RS485 and single mode ST 100Base-FX
-- 9R RS485 and single mode ST redundant 100Base-FX
CT/VT 8A 8F Standard 4CT/4VT
8C 8H Standard 8CT
The new CT/VT modules can only be used with the new CPUs (9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R), and the old CT/
VT modules can only be used with the old CPU modules (9A, 9C, 9D). To prevent any hardware mismatches, the new
CPU and CT/VT modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating “Attn.: Ensure CPU and DSP module label
colors are the same!”. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module, the relay will not
function and a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be displayed.
All other input/output modules are compatible with the new hardware.
With respect to the firmware, firmware versions 4.0x and higher are only compatible with the new CPU and CT/VT mod-
ules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only compatible with the older CPU and CT/VT modules.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED
1.2UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR
1 Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed with electromechanical equipment. This
first generation of equipment was gradually replaced by analog electronic equipment, most of which emulated the single-
function approach of their electromechanical precursors. Both of these technologies required expensive cabling and auxil-
iary equipment to produce functioning systems.
Recently, digital electronic equipment has begun to provide protection, control, and metering functions. Initially, this equip-
ment was either single function or had very limited multi-function capability, and did not significantly reduce the cabling and
auxiliary equipment required. However, recent digital relays have become quite multi-functional, reducing cabling and aux-
iliaries significantly. These devices also transfer data to central control facilities and Human Machine Interfaces using elec-
tronic communications. The functions performed by these products have become so broad that many users now prefer the
term IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).
It is obvious to station designers that the amount of cabling and auxiliary equipment installed in stations can be even further
reduced, to 20% to 70% of the levels common in 1990, to achieve large cost reductions. This requires placing even more
functions within the IEDs.
Users of power equipment are also interested in reducing cost by improving power quality and personnel productivity, and
as always, in increasing system reliability and efficiency. These objectives are realized through software which is used to
perform functions at both the station and supervisory levels. The use of these systems is growing rapidly.
High speed communications are required to meet the data transfer rates required by modern automatic control and moni-
toring systems. In the near future, very high speed communications will be required to perform protection signaling with a
performance target response time for a command signal between two IEDs, from transmission to reception, of less than 3
milliseconds. This has been established by the IEC 61850 standard.
IEDs with the capabilities outlined above will also provide significantly more power system data than is presently available,
enhance operations and maintenance, and permit the use of adaptive system configuration for protection and control sys-
tems. This new generation of equipment must also be easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and
enterprise levels. The GE Multilin Universal Relay (UR) has been developed to meet these goals.

1 GETTING STARTED 1.2 UR OVERVIEW
1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
a) UR BASIC DESIGN 1
The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming device, or
another UR device.

827822A2.CDR
Figure 1–2: UR CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM

The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as program-
mable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that can be used
to control field devices.
b) UR SIGNAL TYPES
The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’
contacts are supported.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic™ equations used to customize
the device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic™ equations.
The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detec-
tors (RTDs).
The CT and VT inputs refer to analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR-series relays support 1 A and 5 A CTs.
The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote UR-series
devices. The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR-series devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic™
operands inserted into IEC 61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series IEDs over a
dedicated fiber (single or multimode), RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs are con-
nected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This feature is optimized for speed and intended for pilot-
aided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED
c) UR SCAN OPERATION
1 The UR-series devices operate in a cyclic scan fashion. The device reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the
logic program (FlexLogic™ equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any
resulting task execution is priority interrupt-driven.

1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
The firmware (software embedded in the relay) is designed in functional modules which can be installed in any relay as
required. This is achieved with Object-Oriented Design and Programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.
Object-Oriented techniques involve the use of ‘objects’ and ‘classes’. An ‘object’ is defined as “a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates that data”. A ‘class’ is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this concept,
one can create a Protection Class with the Protection Elements as objects of the class such as Time Overcurrent, Instanta-
neous Overcurrent, Current Differential, Undervoltage, Overvoltage, Underfrequency, and Distance. These objects repre-
sent completely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for Metering, Input/Output
Control, HMI, Communications, or any functional entity in the system.
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the Universal Relay achieves the same features as the hardware
architecture: modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any Universal Relay (e.g. Feeder Protection,
Transformer Protection, Distance Protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functionality classes.
This results in a ’common look and feel’ across the entire family of UR-series platform-based applications.
1.2.4 IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
As described above, the architecture of the UR-series relays differ from previous devices. To achieve a general understand-
ing of this device, some sections of Chapter 5 are quite helpful. The most important functions of the relay are contained in
“elements”. A description of the UR-series elements can be found in the Introduction to Elements section in Chapter 5. An
example of a simple element, and some of the organization of this manual, can be found in the Digital Elements section. An
explanation of the use of inputs from CTs and VTs is in the Introduction to AC Sources section in Chapter 5. A description of
how digital signals are used and routed within the relay is contained in the Introduction to FlexLogic™ section in Chapter 5.

1.4.2 COMMUNICATIONS
The EnerVista UR Setup software communicates to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port or the rear panel RS485 / Ether-
net ports. To communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard “straight-through” serial cable is used. The DB-9 male
end is connected to the relay and the DB-9 or DB-25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described
in the CPU Communications Ports section of Chapter 3.
Figure 1–4: RELAY COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS

To communicate through the L90 rear RS485 port from a PC RS232 port, the GE Multilin RS232/RS485 converter box is
required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a “straight-through” serial cable. A shielded
twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the L90 rear communications port. The converter terminals
(+, –, GND) are connected to the L90 communication module (+, –, COM) terminals. Refer to the CPU Communications
Ports section in Chapter 3 for option details. The line should be terminated with an R-C network (i.e. 120 Ω, 1 nF) as
described in the Chapter 3.
1.4.3 FACEPLATE DISPLAY
All messages are displayed on a 2 × 20 character vacuum fluorescent display to make them visible under poor lighting con-
ditions. An optional liquid crystal display (LCD) is also available. Messages are displayed in English and do not require the

1.5.7 COMMISSIONING
Templated tables for charting all the required settings before entering them via the keypad are available from the GE Multi-
1
lin website at http://www.GEindustrial.com/multilin. Commissioning tests are also included in the Commissioning chapter of
this manual.
The L90 requires a minimum amount of maintenance when it is commissioned into service. The L90 is a microprocessor-
based relay and its characteristics do not change over time. As such no further functional tests are required.
Furthermore the L90 performs a number of ongoing self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors
(see the Relay Self-Test section in Chapter 7 for details). However, it is recommended that maintenance on the L90 be
scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance may involve the following.
In-service maintenance:
1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices on the cor-
responding system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3. LED test.
4. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
5. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
Out-of-service maintenance:
1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated
test equipment is required.
3. Protection elements setpoints verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against
relay settings schedule).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
7. LED Test and pushbutton continuity check.
Unscheduled maintenance such as during a disturbance causing system interruption:
1. View the event recorder and oscillography or fault report for correct operation of inputs, outputs, and elements.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin or one of its representatives for
prompt service.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEW
The L90 Line Differential Relay is a digital current differential relay system with an integral communications channel inter-
face.
The L90 is intended to provide complete protection for transmission lines of any voltage level. Both three phase and single
phase tripping schemes are available. Models of the L90 are available for application on both two and three terminal lines.
The L90 uses per phase differential at 64 kbps transmitting 2 phaselets per cycle. The current differential scheme is based
on innovative patented techniques developed by GE. The L90 algorithms are based on the Fourier transform–phaselet 2
approach and an adaptive statistical restraint. The restraint is similar to a traditional percentage differential scheme, but is
adaptive based on relay measurements. When used with a 64 kbps channel, the innovative “phaselets” approach yields an
operating time of 1.0 to 1.5 cycles (typical). The adaptive statistical restraint approach provides both more sensitive and
more accurate fault sensing. This allows the L90 to detect relatively higher impedance single line to ground faults that exist-
ing systems may not. The basic current differential element operates on current input only. Long lines with significant
capacitance can benefit from charging current compensation if terminal voltage measurements are applied to the relay. The
voltage input is also used for some protection and monitoring features such as directional elements, fault locator, metering,
and distance backup.
The L90 is designed to operate over different communications links with various degrees of noise encountered in power
systems and communications environments. Since correct operation of the relay is completely dependent on data received
from the remote end, special attention must be paid to information validation. The L90 incorporates a high degree of secu-
rity by using a 32-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy code) inter-relay communications packet.
In addition to current differential protection, the relay provides multiple backup protection for phase and ground faults. For
overcurrent protection, the time overcurrent curves may be selected from a selection of standard curve shapes or a custom
FlexCurve™ for optimum co-ordination. Additionally, three zones of phase and ground distance protection with power
swing blocking, out-of-step tripping, line pickup, load encroachment, and POTT features are included.
The L90 incorporates charging current compensation for applications on very long transmission lines without loss of sensi-
tivity. The line capacitive current is removed from the terminal phasors.
For breaker-and-a-half or ring applications, the L90 design provides secure operation during external faults with possible
CT saturation.
Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as total
waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).
Diagnostic features include a sequence of records capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events. The internal clock used for
time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal or via the SNTP protocol over the Ethernet port. This precise time
stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also be programmed (via
FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the measured parameters before
and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and sim-
plify report generation in the event of a system fault.
A faceplate RS232 port may be used to connect to a PC for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual val-
ues. A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering staff. All serial ports use the Modbus® RTU protocol. The RS485 ports may be connected to system computers
with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. Optional communications modules
include a 10BaseF Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.
Another option provides two 10BaseF fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus®/
TCP, and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (L90 web pages). The IEC 60870-
5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. DNP 3.0 and IEC 60870-5-104 cannot be enabled at the same time.
The L90 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following Single
Line Diagram illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

2.2 PILOT CHANNEL RELAYING 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.2PILOT CHANNEL RELAYING 2.2.1 INTER-RELAY COMMUNICATIONS
Dedicated inter-relay communications may operate over 64 kbps digital channels or dedicated fiber optic channels. Avail-
able interfaces include:
• RS422 at 64 kbps
• G.703 at 64 kbps
2 • Dedicated fiber optics at 64 kbps. The fiber optic options include:
– 820 nm multi-mode fiber with an LED transmitter
– 1300 nm multi-mode fiber with an LED transmitter
– 1300 nm single-mode fiber with an ELED transmitter
– 1300 nm single-mode fiber with a LASER transmitter
– 1550 nm single-mode fiber with a LASER transmitter
– IEEE C37.94 820 nm multi-mode fiber with an LED transmitter
All fiber optic options use an ST connector. L90 models are available for use on two or three terminal lines. A two terminal
line application requires one bidirectional channel. However, in two terminal line applications, it is also possible to use an
L90 relay with two bidirectional channels. The second bidirectional channel will provide a redundant backup channel with
automatic switchover if the first channel fails.
The L90 current differential relay is designed to function in a Peer to Peer or Master–Master architecture. In the Peer to
Peer architecture, all relays in the system are identical and perform identical functions in the current differential scheme. In
order for every relay on the line to be a Peer, each relay must be able to communicate with all of the other relays. If there is
a failure in communications among the relays, the relays will revert to a Master–Slave architecture on a 3-terminal system,
with the Master as the relay that has current phasors from all terminals. Using two different operational modes increases
the dependability of the current differential scheme on a 3-terminal system by reducing reliance on communications.
The main difference between a Master and a Slave L90 is that only a Master relay performs the actual current differential
calculation, and only a Master relay communicates with the relays at all other terminals of the protected line.
At least one Master L90 relay must have live communications to all other terminals in the current differential scheme; the
other L90 relays on that line may operate as Slave relays. All Master relays in the scheme will be equal, and each will per-
form all functions. Each L90 relay in the scheme will determine if it is a Master by comparing the number of terminals on the
line to the number of active communication channels.
The Slave terminals only communicate with the Master; there is no Slave to Slave communications path. As a result, a
Slave L90 relay cannot calculate the differential current. When a Master L90 relay issues a local trip signal, it also sends a
Direct Transfer Trip signal to all of the other L90 relays on the protected line.
If a Slave L90 relay issues a trip from one of its backup functions, it can send a transfer trip signal to its Master and other
Slave relays if such option is designated. Because a Slave cannot communicate with all the relays in the differential
scheme, the Master will then “broadcast” the Direct Transfer Trip signal to all other terminals.
The Slave L90 Relay performs the following functions:
• Samples currents and voltages
• Removes DC offset from the current via the mimic algorithm
• Creates phaselets
• Calculates sum of squares data
• Transmits current data to all Master L90 relays
• Performs all local relaying functions
• Receives Current Differential DTT and Direct Input signals from all other L90 relays
• Transmits Direct Output signals to all communicating relays
• Sends synchronization information of local clock to all other L90 clocks
The Master L90 Relay performs the following functions:
• Performs all functions of a Slave L90
• Receives current phasor information from all relays
• Performs the Current Differential algorithm
• Sends a Current Differential DTT signal to all L90 relays on the protected line

2.2.2 CHANNEL MONITOR
The L90 has logic to detect that the communications channel is deteriorating or has failed completely. This can provide an
alarm indication and disable the current differential protection. Note that a failure of the communications from the Master to
a Slave does not prevent the Master from performing the current differential algorithm; failure of the communications from a
Slave to the Master will prevent the Master from performing the correct current differential logic. Channel propagation delay
is being continuously measured and adjusted according to changes in the communications path. Every relay on the protec-
tion system can assigned an unique ID to prevent advertent loopbacks at multiplexed channels.
2.2.3 LOOPBACK TEST
This option allows the user to test the relay at one terminal of the line by “looping” the transmitter output to the receiver
input; at the same time, the signal sent to the remote will not change. A local loopback feature is included in the relay to
simplify single ended testing.
2.2.4 DIRECT TRANSFER TRIPPING
The L90 includes provision for sending and receiving a single-pole Direct Transfer Trip (DTT) signal from current differential
protection between the L90 relays at the line terminals using the pilot communications channel. The user may also initiate
an additional eight pilot signals with an L90 communications channel to create trip/block/signaling logic. A FlexLogic™
operand, an external contact closure, or a signal over the LAN communication channels can be assigned for that logic.

2.3 FUNCTIONALITY 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.3FUNCTIONALITY 2.3.1 PROTECTION AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
• Current Differential Protection: The current differential algorithms used in the L90 Line Differential Relay are based
on the Fourier transform ‘phaselet’ approach and an adaptive statistical restraint. The L90 uses per-phase differential
at 64 kbps with 2 phaselets per cycle. A detailed description of the current differential algorithms is found in Chapter 8.
The current differential protection can be set in a percentage differential scheme with a single or dual slope.
• Backup Protection: In addition to the primary current differential protection, the L90 Line Differential Relay incorpo-
2 rates backup functions that operate on the local relay current only, such as directional phase overcurrent, directional
neutral overcurrent, negative sequence overcurrent, undervoltage, overvoltage, and distance protection.
• Multiple Setting Groups: The relay can store six groups of settings. They may be selected by user command, a con-
figurable contact input or a FlexLogic™ equation to allow the relay to respond to changing conditions.
• User-Programmable Logic: In addition to the built-in protection logic, the relay may be programmed by the user via
FlexLogic™ equations.
• Configurable Inputs and Outputs: All of the contact converter inputs (Digital Inputs) to the relay may be assigned by
the user to directly block a protection element, operate an output relay or serve as an input to FlexLogic™ equations.
All of the outputs, except for the self test critical alarm contacts, may also be assigned by the user.
2.3.2 METERING AND MONITORING FUNCTIONS
• Metering: The relay measures all input currents and calculates both phasors and symmetrical components. When AC
potential is applied to the relay via the optional voltage inputs, metering data includes phase and neutral current, phase
voltage, three phase and per phase W, VA, and var, and power factor. Frequency is measured on either current or volt-
age inputs. They may be called onto the local display or accessed via a computer. All terminal current phasors and dif-
ferential currents are also displayed at all relays, allowing the user opportunity to analyze correct polarization of
currents at all terminals.
• Event Records: The relay has a ‘sequence of events’ recorder which combines the recording of snapshot data and
oscillography data. Events consist of a broad range of change of state occurrences, including input contact changes,
measuring-element pickup and operation, FlexLogic™ equation changes, and self-test status. The relay stores up to
1024 events with the date and time stamped to the nearest microsecond. This provides the information needed to
determine a sequence of events, which can reduce troubleshooting time and simplify report generation after system
events.
• Oscillography: The relay stores oscillography data at a sampling rate of 64 times per cycle. The relay can store from
1 to 64 records. Each oscillography file includes a sampled data report consisting of:
Instantaneous sample of the selected currents and voltages (if AC potential is used),
the status of each selected contact input,
the status of each selected contact output,
the status of each selected measuring function, and
the status of various selected logic signals, including virtual inputs and outputs.
The captured oscillography data files can be accessed via the remote communications ports on the relay.
• CT Failure / Current Unbalance Alarm: The relay has current unbalance alarm logic. The unbalance alarm may be
supervised by a zero sequence voltage detector. The user may block the relay from tripping when the current unbal-
ance alarm operates.
• Trip Circuit Monitor: On those outputs designed for trip duty, a trip voltage monitor will continuously measure the DC
voltage across output contacts to determine if the associated trip circuit is intact. If the voltage dips below the minimum
voltage or the breaker fails to open or close after a trip command, an alarm can be activated.
• Self-Test: The most comprehensive self testing of the relay is performed during a power-up. Because the system is
not performing any protection activities at power-up, tests that would be disruptive to protection processing may be
performed. The processors in the CPU and all DSP modules participate in startup self-testing. Self-testing checks
approximately 85 to 90% of the hardware, and CRC/check-sum verification of all PROMs is performed. The proces-
sors communicate their results to each other so that if any failures are detected, they can be reported to the user. Each
processor must successfully complete its self tests before the relay begins protection activities.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.3 FUNCTIONALITY
During both startup and normal operation, the CPU polls all plug-in modules and checks that every one answers the
poll. The CPU compares the module types that identify themselves to the relay order code stored in memory and
declares an alarm if a module is either non-responding or the wrong type for the specific slot. When running under nor-
mal power system conditions, the relay processors will have ‘idle’ time. During this time, each processor performs
‘background’ self-tests that are not disruptive to the foreground processing.
2.3.3 OTHER FUNCTIONS
a) ALARMS 2
The relay contains a dedicated alarm relay, the Critical Failure Alarm, housed in the Power Supply module. This output
relay is not user programmable. This relay has Form-C contacts and is energized under normal operating conditions. The
Critical Failure Alarm will become de-energized if the relay self test algorithms detect a failure that would prevent the relay
from properly protecting the transmission line.
b) LOCAL USER INTERFACE

The relay’s local user interface (on the faceplate) consists of a 2 × 20 vacuum florescent display (VFD) and a 22 button key-
pad. The keypad and display may be used to view data from the relay, to change settings in the relay, or to perform control
actions. Also, the faceplate provides LED indications of status and events..
c) TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
The relay includes a clock which can run freely from the internal oscillator or be synchronized from an external IRIG-B sig-
nal. With the external signal, all relays wired to the same synchronizing signal will be synchronized to within 0.1 millisecond.

3 HARDWARE 3.1 DESCRIPTION
3 HARDWARE 3.1DESCRIPTION 3.1.1 PANEL CUTOUT
The relay is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit or as a reduced size (¾) vertical mount unit, with a removable
faceplate. The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The face-
plate is hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with lim-
ited rear depth. There is also a removable dust cover that fits over the faceplate, which must be removed when attempting
to access the keypad or RS232 communications port.
The vertical and horizontal case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When
planning the location of your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the faceplate to swing open without interfer-
ence to or from adjacent equipment.
The relay must be mounted such that the faceplate sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the operator
access to the keypad and the RS232 communications port. The relay is secured to the panel with the use of four screws
supplied with the relay.

3.1.2 MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION
Module withdrawal and insertion may only be performed when control power has been removed from the
unit. Inserting an incorrect module type into a slot may result in personal injury, damage to the unit or con-
WARNING
nected equipment, or undesired operation!
Proper electrostatic discharge protection (i.e. a static strap) must be used when coming in contact with
modules while the relay is energized!
WARNING
The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots. The faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on the
right side has been pushed up, as shown below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.
Figure 3–5: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL/INSERTION

• MODULE WITHDRAWAL: The ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulled
simultaneously to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed
from the relay. Record the original location of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted
into the correct slot. Modules with current input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits.
• MODULE INSERTION: Ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module is
smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simulta-
neously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.
All CPU modules except the 9E are equipped with 10Base-T or 10Base-F Ethernet connectors. These connectors
must be individually disconnected from the module before it can be removed from the chassis.
NOTE
The version 4.0 release of the L90 relay includes new hardware (CPU and CT/VT modules). The new CPU mod-
ules are specified with the following order codes: 9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R. The new CT/VT modules
NOTE
are specified with the following order codes: 8F, 8H.
The new CT/VT modules (8F, 8H) can only be used with new CPUs (9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R); simi-
larly, old CT/VT modules (8A, 8C) can only be used with old CPUs (9A, 9C, 9D). To prevent hardware mismatches,
the new modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating “Attn.: Ensure CPU and DSP module label col-
ors are the same!”. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module, the relay will not
function and a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be displayed.
All other input/output modules are compatible with the new hardware. Firmware versions 4.0x and higher are only
compatible with the new CPU and CT/VT modules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only
compatible with the older CPU and CT/VT modules.

3.1.3 REAR TERMINAL LAYOUT
831781A1.CDR
Figure 3–6: REAR TERMINAL VIEW

Do not touch any rear terminals while the relay is energized!
WARNING
The relay follows a convention with respect to terminal number assignments which are three characters long assigned in
order by module slot position, row number, and column letter. Two-slot wide modules take their slot designation from the
first slot position (nearest to CPU module) which is indicated by an arrow marker on the terminal block. See the following
figure for an example of rear terminal assignments.

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused by high peak voltage
transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI). These protective components can
be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 specified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one
minute.
3.2.3 CONTROL POWER
CONTROL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE RELAY MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MATCHING POWER SUPPLY
RANGE OF THE RELAY. IF THE VOLTAGE IS APPLIED TO THE WRONG TERMINALS, DAMAGE MAY
CAUTION
OCCUR!
The L90 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are well
known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be
NOTE
avoided by powering the relays up once a year.
The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, with or without a redundant power option. Each
range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are as shown below (see the Technical Specifica-
tions section of Chapter 2 for additional details):
LO range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal
HI range: 125 to 250 V nominal
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the
Typical Wiring Diagram earlier). The critical failure relay is a Form-C that will be energized once control power is applied
and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks detect a
critical failure (see the Self-Test Errors table in Chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay will de-energize.
For high reliability systems, the L90 has a redundant option in which two L90 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply will assume the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module will also indicate a faulted power supply.
An LED on the front of the module shows the status of the power supply:

ON / OFF CYCLING Failure

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES
A CT/VT module may have voltage inputs on Channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or Channels 5 through 8 inclusive. Channels
1 and 5 are intended for connection to Phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Channels 2 and 6 are intended for
connection to Phase B, and are labeled as such in the relay. Channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to Phase C and
are labeled as such in the relay. Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single phase source. If voltage, this
channel is labelled the auxiliary voltage (VX). If current, this channel is intended for connection to a CT between a system
neutral and ground, and is labelled the ground current (IG).
a) CT INPUTS
VERIFY THAT THE CONNECTION MADE TO THE RELAY NOMINAL CURRENT OF 1 A OR 5 A MATCHES
THE SECONDARY RATING OF THE CONNECTED CTs. UNMATCHED CTs MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
DAMAGE OR INADEQUATE PROTECTION.
The CT/VT module may be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current inputs (Type
8F) or with a sensitive ground input (Type 8G) which is 10 times more sensitive (see the Technical Specifications section for
additional details). Each AC current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the
input when the module is withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Cur-
rent transformers with 1 to 50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries may be used.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the Typical Wiring Diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence CT so that ground fault current will be detected is shown below. Twisted pair
cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

Figure 3–10: ZERO-SEQUENCE CORE BALANCE CT INSTALLATION
b) VT INPUTS
The phase voltage channels are used for most metering and protection purposes. The auxiliary voltage channel is used as
input for the Synchrocheck and Volts/Hertz features.

NOTE

3.2.5 CONTACT INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Every digital input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals may be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for Form-C relay out-
puts, the terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a
Form-A output, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, depending on the module
ordered. The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.
The digital inputs are grouped with a common return. The L90 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common return
and two inputs per common return. When a digital input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used. The four
inputs per common allows for high-density inputs in combination with outputs, with a compromise of four inputs sharing one
common. If the inputs must be isolated per row, then two inputs per common return should be selected (4D module).
The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that may
3 be ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by module slot
position, row number, and column position.
UR-SERIES FORM-A / SOLID STATE (SSR) OUTPUT CONTACTS:
Some Form-A/SSR outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open, and the DC
current through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose output is set to
logic “On = 1” when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to “On = 1” when the
current is above about 1 to 2.5 mA, and the current monitor is set to “On = 1” when the current exceeds about 80 to 100
mA. The voltage monitor is intended to check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be used to
seal-in the output contact until an external contact has interrupted current flow. The block diagrams of the circuits are below
above for the Form-A outputs with:
a) optional voltage monitor

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic™ operands (Cont Op # Von, Cont
Op # Voff, Cont Op # Ion, and Cont Op # Ioff) which can be used in protection, control and alarm logic. The typical application of
the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command. Refer to the Digital Elements section of Chapter 5 for an example of how Form-A/SSR contacts can be
applied for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.
Relay contacts must be considered unsafe to touch when the unit is energized! If the relay contacts need to
be used for low voltage accessible applications, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure proper insula-
WARNING
tion levels!
USE OF FORM-A/SSR OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS
NOTE For Form-A/SSR output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring cIrcuit across the contact, the circuit
has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input impedance monitor-
ing equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may continue to read the
Form-A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, when measured as an impedance.
3
The solution to this problem is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the
Form-A contact through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power sup-
ply is used as a source, a 500 Ω, 10 W resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the
Form-A contact or the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.
Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module; wherever a number
sign "#" appears, substitute the contact number
NOTE
When current monitoring is used to seal-in the Form-A/SSR contact outputs, the FlexLogic™ operand driv-
ing the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage of the output contact (in
NOTE
situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the region of the pickup
value).

CORRECT POLARITY MUST BE OBSERVED FOR ALL CONTACT INPUT AND SOLID STATE OUTPUT CON-
NECTIONS FOR PROPER FUNCTIONALITY.
CAUTION

CONTACT INPUTS:
A dry contact has one side connected to Terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the power sup-
ply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA will flow through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. In addition, the negative side of the external source must be connected
to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact input group. The maximum external source voltage for this
arrangement is 300 V DC.
The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs will detect a closed contact input is programmable as
17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.

NOTE
CONTACT OUTPUTS:
Contact outputs may be ordered as Form-A or Form-C. The Form A contacts may be connected for external circuit supervi-
sion. These contacts are provided with voltage and current monitoring circuits used to detect the loss of DC voltage in the
circuit, and the presence of DC current flowing through the contacts when the Form-A contact closes. If enabled, the cur-
rent monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the Form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized
inductive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.
There is no provision in the relay to detect a DC ground fault on 48 V DC control power external output. We
recommend using an external DC supply.
NOTE

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING:

The contact inputs sense a change of the state of the external device contact based on the measured current. When exter-
nal devices are located in a harsh industrial environment (either outdoor or indoor), their contacts can be exposed to vari-
ous types of contamination. Normally, there is a thin film of insulating sulfidation, oxidation, or contaminates on the surface
of the contacts, sometimes making it difficult or impossible to detect a change of the state. This film must be removed to
establish circuit continuity – an impulse of higher than normal current can accomplish this.
The contact inputs with auto-burnish create a high current impulse when the threshold is reached to burn off this oxidation
layer as a maintenance to the contacts. Afterwards the contact input current is reduced to a steady-state current. The
impulse will have a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

time

Figure 3–16: CURRENT THROUGH CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING

Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with auto-
burnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state was sensed. Then, within 25 to
50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated above. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the con-
tacts, allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts
when external device contact bouncing is over.
Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two con-
tact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (refer to the Digital Input/
Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources. Conse-
quently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.
The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.
CONTACT INPUT 1 AUTO-BURNISH = OFF

CONTACT INPUT 1 AUTO-BURNISH = ON

The auto-burnish circuitry has an internal fuse for safety purposes. During regular maintenance, the auto-burnish
functionality can be checked using an oscilloscope.
NOTE

3.2.6 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external dcmA output transducers (dcmA In) or resistance tem-
perature detectors (RTD). Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from these external transducers and con-
vert these signals into a digital format for use as required.
Transducer output modules provide DC current outputs in several standard dcmA ranges. Software is provided to configure
virtually any analog quantity used in the relay to drive the analog outputs.
Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three ter-
minals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row may be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.
Each module also requires that a connection from an external ground bus be made to Terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded at one end only. The figure below illustrates the trans- 3
ducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that may be ordered for the relay.

b) RS485 PORTS
RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternat-
ing over the same two wires. Through the use of these port(s), continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 “+” terminals connected together, and all RS485 “–”
terminals connected together. The COM terminal should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when pro-
vided. To avoid loop currents, the shield should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy chained to
the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For
larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to
increase the number of relays on a single channel to more than 32. Star or stub connections should be avoided entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An iso-
lated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
Both ends of the RS485 circuit should also be terminated with an impedance as shown below.

CONNECTORS CAN LEAD TO HIGH LOSSES ON A FIBER LINK.
CAUTION
OBSERVING ANY FIBER TRANSMITTER OUTPUT MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE EYE.
CAUTION
The fiber optic communication ports allow for fast and efficient communications between relays at 10 or 100Mbps. Optical
fiber may be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 820 nm in multi-mode or 1310 nm in multi-mode and single-
mode. The 10 Mbps rate is available for CPU modules 9G and 9H; 100Mbps is available for modules 9J, 9K, 9L, and 9M.
The 9H, 9K and 9M modules have a second pair of identical optical fiber transmitter and receiver for redundancy.
The optical fiber sizes supported include 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm and 100/140 µm for 10 Mbps. The fiber optic port is
designed such that the response times will not vary for any core that is 100 µm or less in diameter, 62.5 µm for 100 Mbps.
For optical power budgeting, splices are required every 1 km for the transmitter/receiver pair. When splicing optical fibers,
the diameter and numerical aperture of each fiber must be the same. In order to engage or disengage the ST type connec-
tor, only a quarter turn of the coupling is required.

3.2.9 IRIG-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices within
1 millisecond. The IRIG time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either DC level shifted or ampli-
tude modulated (AM). Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS
satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

Pin nomenclature may differ from one manufacturer to another. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see
pinouts numbered TxA, TxB, RxA and RxB. In such cases, it can be assumed that “A” is equivalent to “+”
NOTE
and “B” is equivalent to “–”.
b) G.703 SELECTION SWITCH PROCEDURES

1. Remove the G.703 module (7R or 7S):
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module, must be pulled simultaneously in order
to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay.
The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted
into the correct slot.
2. Remove the module cover screw.
3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
4. Set the Timing Selection Switches (Channel 1, Channel 2) to the desired timing modes.
5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.

6. Re-insert the G.703 module Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position.
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as
the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the
clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

S5 = ON and S6 = OFF → Internal Timing Mode
S5 = OFF and S6 = ON → Minimum Remote Loopback Mode
S5 = ON and S6 = ON → Dual Loopback Mode
c) OCTET TIMING (SWITCH S1)

If Octet Timing is enabled (ON), this 8 kHz signal will be asserted during the violation of Bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connect-
ing to higher order systems. When L90s are connected back to back, Octet Timing should be disabled (OFF).
d) TIMING MODES (SWITCHES S5 AND S6)

There are two timing modes for the G.703 module: internal timing mode and loop timing mode (default).
• Internal Timing Mode: The system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection should be in
the Internal Timing Mode for back-to-back (UR-to-UR) connections. For back-to-back connections, set for Octet Timing
(S1 = OFF) and Timing Mode = Internal Timing (S5 = ON and S6 = OFF).
• Loop Timing Mode: The system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection
should be in Loop Timing Mode for connections to higher order systems. For connection to a higher order system (UR-
to-multiplexer, factory defaults), set to Octet Timing (S1 = ON) and set Timing Mode = Loop Timing (S5 = OFF and S6
= OFF).

The switch settings for the internal and loop timing modes are shown below:
842752A1.CDR
e) TEST MODES (SWITCHES S5 AND S6)
3 MINIMUM REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE:

In Minimum Remote Loopback mode, the multiplexer is enabled to return the data from the external interface without any
processing to assist in diagnosing G.703 Line Side problems irrespective of clock rate. Data enters from the G.703 inputs,
passes through the data stabilization latch which also restores the proper signal polarity, passes through the multiplexer
and then returns to the transmitter. The Differential Received Data is processed and passed to the G.703 Transmitter mod-
ule after which point the data is discarded. The G.703 Receiver module is fully functional and continues to process data and
passes it to the Differential Manchester Transmitter module. Since timing is returned as it is received, the timing source is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.
DMR = Differential Manchester Receiver

DMR G7X DMX = Differential Manchester Transmitter
G7X = G.703 Transmitter
G7R = G.703 Receiver
DMX G7R
DUAL LOOPBACK MODE:

In Dual Loopback Mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester Receiver module and then is returned to the Differential Manchester Transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 Receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 Transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communications path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing. One
source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the Differential Manchester side of the interface.

SHIELD TERMINATION
The shield pins (6a and 7b) are internally connected to the ground pin (8a). Proper shield termination is as follows:
Site 1: Terminate shield to pins 6a and/or 7b; Site 2: Terminate shield to ‘COM’ pin 2b.
The clock terminating impedance should match the impedance of the line.

Figure 3–30: TYPICAL PIN INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN TWO RS422 INTERFACES
b) TWO CHANNEL APPLICATIONS VIA MULTIPLEXERS

The RS422 Interface may be used for single or two channel applications over SONET/SDH and/or multiplexed systems.
When used in single channel applications, the RS422 interface links to higher order systems in a typical fashion observing
transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), and send timing (ST) connections. However, when used in two channel applications, certain cri-
teria must be followed since there is one clock input for the two RS422 channels. The system will function correctly if the
following connections are observed and your data module has a terminal timing feature. Terminal timing is a common fea-
ture to most synchronous data units that allows the module to accept timing from an external source. Using the terminal
timing feature, two channel applications can be achieved if these connections are followed: The send timing outputs from
the multiplexer (data module 1), will connect to the Clock inputs of the UR–RS422 interface in the usual fashion. In addition,
the send timing outputs of data module 1 will also be paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2. By using this
configuration, the timing for both data modules and both UR–RS422 channels will be derived from a single clock source. As
a result, data sampling for both of the UR–RS422 channels will be synchronized via the send timing leads on data module
1 as shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the G.703 interface
is a viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Figure 3–31: TIMING CONFIGURATION FOR RS422 TWO-CHANNEL, 3-TERMINAL APPLICATION

Data module 1 provides timing to the L90 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provides
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The data module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they may vary depending on the manufacturer.
c) TRANSIT TIMING
The RS422 Interface accepts one clock input for Transmit Timing. It is important that the rising edge of the 64 kHz Transmit
Timing clock of the Multiplexer Interface is sampling the data in the center of the Transmit Data window. Therefore, it is
important to confirm Clock and Data Transitions to ensure Proper System Operation. For example, the following figure
shows the positive edge of the Tx Clock in the center of the Tx Data bit.
Tx Clock
Tx Data
Figure 3–32: CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS

d) RECEIVE TIMING
The RS422 Interface utilizes NRZI-MARK Modulation Code and; therefore, does not rely on an Rx Clock to recapture data.
NRZI-MARK is an edge-type, invertible, self-clocking code.
To recover the Rx Clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (Digital Phase Lock Loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is over-sampled 16X, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a data
clock that can be used as the SCC (Serial Communication Controller) receive clock.
3.3.6 RS422 AND FIBER INTERFACE
The following figure shows the combined RS422 plus Fiber interface configuration at 64K baud. The 7L, 7M, 7N, 7P, and 74
modules are used in 2-terminal with a redundant channel or 3-terminal configurations where Channel 1 is employed via the
RS422 interface (possibly with a multiplexer) and Channel 2 via direct fiber.
AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external RS422 connections and the shield should be grounded only at 3
one end. For the direct fiber channel, power budget issues should be addressed properly.

3.3.8 IEEE C37.94 INTERFACE
The UR-series IEEE C37.94 communication modules (76 and 77) are designed to interface with IEEE C37.94 compliant
digital multiplexers and/or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with L90 and L90 direct inputs/outputs on
version 3.20 and direct input/output applications for firmware revisions 3.30 and higher. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines
a point-to-point optical link for synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically
64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication
module is 64 kbps only with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recom-
mended G.704 pattern from the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of
8000 Hz, with a resultant bit rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:
IEEE standard: C37.94 for 1 × 64 kbps optical fiber interface
3 Fiber optic cable type: 50 mm or 62.5 mm core diameter optical fiber
Fiber optic mode: multi-mode
Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km
Fiber optic connector: type ST
Wavelength: 830 ±40 nm
Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports
the IEEE C37.94 standard as shown below.

The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six (6) switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The func-
tions of these control switches is shown below.
842753A1.CDR
For the Internal Timing Mode, the system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the timing switch selection should be
Internal Timing for Relay 1 and Loop Timed for Relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured.
For the Looped Timing Mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selection
should be in Loop Timing Mode for connections to higher order systems.

The C37.94 communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:

1. Remove the C37.94 module (76 or 77):
4. Set the Timing Selection Switches (Channel 1, Channel 2) to the desired timing modes (see description above).
6. Re-insert the C37.94 module Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot posi-
tion. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position 3
as the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage
the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

3.3.9 C37.94SM INTERFACE
The UR-series C37.94SM communication modules (2A and 2B) are designed to interface with modified IEEE C37.94 com-
pliant digital multiplexers and/or IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converters that have been converted from 820 nm multi-
mode fiber optics to 1300 nm ELED single-mode fiber optics. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link
for synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard
provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94SM communication module is 64 kbps
only with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern
from the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a result-
ant bit rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:
Emulated IEEE standard: emulates C37.94 for 1 × 64 kbps optical fiber interface (modules set to n = 1 or 64 kbps)
3 Fiber optic cable type: 9/125 μm core diameter optical fiber

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE
4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device.
The alternate human interface is implemented via the device’s faceplate keypad and display (see Faceplate Interface sec-
tion in this chapter).
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (i.e. off-
line) or connected (i.e. on-line) to a UR device. In off-line mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to
the device. In on-line mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
The EnerVista UR Setup software, provided with every L90 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft Win-
dows® 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista UR Setup software interface
features. The EnerVista UR Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista UR Setup software
interface.
4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST
To start using the EnerVista UR Setup software, a site definition and device definition must first be created. See the EnerV-
ista UR Setup Help File or refer to the Connecting EnerVista UR Setup with the L90 section in Chapter 1 for details.
4.1.3 ENERVISTA UR SETUP OVERVIEW

4
a) ENGAGING A DEVICE
The EnerVista UR Setup software may be used in on-line mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with a UR relay.
Communicating relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites may contain any num-
ber of relays selected from the UR product series.
b) USING SETTINGS FILES

The EnerVista UR Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
• In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
• While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay.
• You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
• Device Definition
• Product Setup
• System Setup
• FlexLogic™
• Grouped Elements
• Control Elements
• Inputs/Outputs
• Testing
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
c) CREATING AND EDITING FLEXLOGIC™

You can create or edit a FlexLogic™ equation in order to customize the relay. You can subsequently view the automatically
generated logic diagram.

4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4 HUMAN INTERFACES
d) VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES

You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.
e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS

While the interface is in either on-line or off-line mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified
parameters, via one of the following:
• Event Recorder facility: The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events, listed in
chronological order from most recent to oldest.
• Oscillography facility: The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of
power system and relay operation data captured during specific triggered events.
f) FILE SUPPORT
• Execution: Any EnerVista UR Setup file which is double clicked or opened will launch the application, or provide focus
to the already opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a URS extension) which had been removed from
the Settings List tree menu, it will be added back to the Settings List tree menu.
• Drag and Drop: The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target
for device-order-code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any
4 Windows Explorer directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files which are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree which is automatically sorted alphabet-
ically with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items which are dropped in the selected device menu
in the Site List window will automatically be sent to the on-line communicating device.
g) UR FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of a L90 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista UR Setup software. The correspond-
ing instructions are provided by the EnerVista UR Setup Help file under the topic “Upgrading Firmware”.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firm-
NOTE
ware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
The EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

d) CUSTOM LABELING OF LEDS

Custom labeling of an LED-only panel is facilitated through a Microsoft Word file available from the following URL:
http://www.GEindustrial.com/multilin/support/ur/
This file provides templates and instructions for creating appropriate labeling for the LED panel. The following procedures
are contained in the downloadable file. The panel templates provide relative LED locations and located example text (x)
edit boxes. The following procedure demonstrates how to install/uninstall the custom panel labeling.
1. Remove the clear Lexan Front Cover (GE Multilin Part Number: 1501-0014).
Push in
and gently lift
up the cover.
2. Pop out the LED Module and/or the Blank Module with a screwdriver as shown below. Be careful not to damage the
plastic. 4
( LED MODULE ) ( BLANK MODULE )
3. Place the left side of the customized module back to the front panel frame, then snap back the right side.
4. Put the clear Lexan Front Cover back into place.
e) CUSTOMIZING THE DISPLAY MODULE

The following items are required to customize the L90 display module:
• Black and white or color printer (color preferred).
• Microsoft Word 97 or later software for editing the template.
• 1 each of: 8.5" x 11" white paper, exacto knife, ruler, custom display module (GE Multilin Part Number: 1516-0069),
and a custom module cover (GE Multilin Part Number: 1502-0015).
1. Open the LED panel customization template with Microsoft Word. Add text in places of the LED x text placeholders on
the template(s). Delete unused place holders as required.
2. When complete, save the Word file to your local PC for future use.
3. Print the template(s) to a local printer.
4. From the printout, cut-out the Background Template from the three windows, using the cropmarks as a guide.
5. Put the Background Template on top of the custom display module (GE Multilin Part Number: 1513-0069) and snap the
clear custom module cover (GE Multilin Part Number: 1502-0015) over it and the templates.

4.2.3 DISPLAY
All messages are displayed on a 2 × 20 character vacuum fluorescent display to make them visible under poor lighting con-
ditions. An optional liquid crystal display (LCD) is also available. Messages are displayed in English and do not require the
aid of an instruction manual for deciphering. While the keypad and display are not actively being used, the display will
default to defined messages. Any high priority event driven message will automatically override the default message and
appear on the display.
4.2.4 KEYPAD
Display messages are organized into ‘pages’ under the following headings: Actual Values, Settings, Commands, and Tar-
gets. The key navigates through these pages. Each heading page is broken down further into logical subgroups.
The MESSAGE keys navigate through the subgroups. The VALUE keys scroll increment or decrement
numerical setting values when in programming mode. These keys also scroll through alphanumeric values in the text edit
mode. Alternatively, values may also be entered with the numeric keypad.
The key initiates and advance to the next character in text edit mode or enters a decimal point. The key may be
pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages. The key stores altered setting values.
4 4.2.5 BREAKER CONTROL
a) DESCRIPTION
The L90 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker,
which can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually
initiated from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic™ operand. A setting is provided to assign names
to each breaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for
two breakers; the user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker No. 1.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER n BREAKER FUNC-
TION setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.
b) CONTROL MODE SELECTION AND MONITORING

Installations may require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-Pole), or in the one and three-pole (1-
Pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as 3-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed position.
If the mode is selected as 1-Pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be in agree-
ment to indicate the position of the breaker.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER n BREAKER
PUSH BUTTON CONTROL setting is "Enabled" for each breaker..
c) USER KEY CONTROL

After the 30 minute interval during which command functions are permitted after a correct command password, the user
cannot open or close a breaker via the keypad. The following discussions begin from the not-permitted state.
d) CONTROL OF TWO BREAKERS

For the following example setup, the symbol (Name) represents the user-programmed variable name.
For this application (setup shown below), the relay is connected and programmed for both breaker No. 1 and breaker No. 2.
The USER 1 key performs the selection of which breaker is to be operated by the USER 2 and USER 3 keys. The USER 2
key is used to manually close the breaker and the USER 3 key is used to manually open the breaker.

ENTER COMMAND This message appears when the USER 1, USER 2, or USER 3 key is pressed and a
PASSWORD COMMAND PASSWORD is required; i.e. if COMMAND PASSWORD is enabled and no com-
mands have been issued within the last 30 minutes.
Press USER 1 This message appears if the correct password is entered or if none is required. This mes-
To Select Breaker sage will be maintained for 30 seconds or until the USER 1 key is pressed again.

a) ENTERING NUMERICAL DATA

Each numerical setting has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value associated with it. These parameters define
what values are acceptable for a setting.
FLASH MESSAGE For example, select the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH
TIME: 1.0 s MESSAGE TIME setting.
MINIMUM: 0.5 Press the key to view the minimum and maximum values. Press the key
MAXIMUM: 10.0 again to view the next context sensitive help message.
Two methods of editing and storing a numerical setting value are available.
• 0 to 9 and (decimal point): The relay numeric keypad works the same as that of any electronic calculator. A num-
ber is entered one digit at a time. The leftmost digit is entered first and the rightmost digit is entered last. Pressing the
MESSAGE key or pressing the ESCAPE key, returns the original value to the display.
• VALUE : The VALUE key increments the displayed value by the step value, up to the maximum value
allowed. While at the maximum value, pressing the VALUE
upward from the minimum value. The VALUE
key again will allow the setting selection to continue
key decrements the displayed value by the step value, down to the
4
minimum value. While at the minimum value, pressing the VALUE key again will allow the setting selection to con-
tinue downward from the maximum value.
FLASH MESSAGE As an example, set the flash message time setting to 2.5 seconds. Press the appropriate
TIME: 2.5 s numeric keys in the sequence “2 . 5". The display message will change as the digits are
being entered.
NEW SETTING Until is pressed, editing changes are not registered by the relay. Therefore, press
HAS BEEN STORED to store the new value in memory. This flash message will momentarily appear as
confirmation of the storing process. Numerical values which contain decimal places will
be rounded-off if more decimal place digits are entered than specified by the step value.
b) ENTERING ENUMERATION DATA

Enumeration settings have data values which are part of a set, whose members are explicitly defined by a name. A set is
comprised of two or more members.
ACCESS LEVEL: For example, the selections available for ACCESS LEVEL are "Restricted", "Command",
Restricted "Setting", and "Factory Service".
Enumeration type values are changed using the VALUE keys. The VALUE key displays the next selection while the
VALUE key displays the previous selection.
ACCESS LEVEL: If the ACCESS LEVEL needs to be "Setting", press the VALUE keys until the proper selec-
Setting tion is displayed. Press at any time for the context sensitive help messages.
NEW SETTING Changes are not registered by the relay until the key is pressed. Pressing
HAS BEEN STORED stores the new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as confirma-
tion of the storing process.
c) ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT

Text settings have data values which are fixed in length, but user-defined in character. They may be comprised of upper
case letters, lower case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters.

There are several places where text messages may be programmed to allow the relay to be customized for specific appli-
cations. One example is the Message Scratchpad. Use the following procedure to enter alphanumeric text messages.
For example: to enter the text, “Breaker #1”
1. Press to enter text edit mode.
2. Press the VALUE keys until the character 'B' appears; press to advance the cursor to the next position.
3. Repeat step 2 for the remaining characters: r,e,a,k,e,r, ,#,1.
4. Press to store the text.
5. If you have any problem, press to view context sensitive help. Flash messages will sequentially appear for sev-
eral seconds each. For the case of a text setting message, pressing displays how to edit and store new values.
d) ACTIVATING THE RELAY
RELAY SETTINGS: When the relay is powered up, the Trouble LED will be on, the In Service LED off, and
Not Programmed this message displayed, indicating the relay is in the "Not Programmed" state and is
safeguarding (output relays blocked) against the installation of a relay whose settings
have not been entered. This message remains until the relay is explicitly put in the
4 "Programmed" state.
To change the RELAY SETTINGS: "Not Programmed" mode to "Programmed", proceed as follows:
1. Press the key until the SETTINGS header flashes momentarily and the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP message
appears on the display.
2. Press the MESSAGE key until the PASSWORD SECURITY message appears on the display.
3. Press the MESSAGE key until the INSTALLATION message appears on the display.
4. Press the MESSAGE key until the RELAY SETTINGS: Not Programmed message is displayed.

change to the defined tier during the ten minute timeout. The LOCAL ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to
“Off” after the expiration of the ten-minute timeout.
In the event that an incorrect Command or Setting password has been entered via the any external communications inter-
face three times within a three-minute time span, the REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “On” and
the L90 will not allow Settings or Command access via the any external communications interface for the next ten minutes.
The REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “Off” after the expiration of the ten-minute timeout.

5.1.2 INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS
In the design of UR relays, the term “element” is used to describe a feature that is based around a comparator. The com-
parator is provided with an input (or set of inputs) that is tested against a programmed setting (or group of settings) to deter-
mine if the input is within the defined range that will set the output to logic 1, also referred to as “setting the flag”. A single
comparator may make multiple tests and provide multiple outputs; for example, the time overcurrent comparator sets a
Pickup flag when the current input is above the setting and sets an Operate flag when the input current has been at a level
above the pickup setting for the time specified by the time-current curve settings. All comparators, except the Digital Ele-
ment which uses a logic state as the input, use analog parameter actual values as the input.
Elements are arranged into two classes, GROUPED and CONTROL. Each element classed as a GROUPED element is
provided with six alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 6. The performance of a GROUPED ele-
ment is defined by the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a CONTROL element is independent
of the selected active setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on the element logic diagram. This includes the input(s), settings, fixed
logic, and the output operands generated (abbreviations used on scheme logic diagrams are defined in Appendix F).

Some settings for current and voltage elements are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
• For current elements, the ‘base quantity’ is the nominal secondary or primary current of the CT. Where the current
source is the sum of two CTs with different ratios, the ‘base quantity’ will be the common secondary or primary current
to which the sum is scaled (i.e. normalized to the larger of the 2 rated CT inputs). For example, if CT1 = 300 / 5 A and
CT2 = 100 / 5 A, then in order to sum these, CT2 is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the ‘base quantity’ will be 5 A
secondary or 300 A primary.
• For voltage elements the ‘base quantity’ is the nominal primary voltage of the protected system which corresponds
(based on VT ratio and connection) to secondary VT voltage applied to the relay. For example, on a system with a
13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with 14400:120 V Delta-connected VTs, the secondary nominal voltage (1 pu)
would be:
13800
---------------- × 120 = 115 V (EQ 5.1)
14400
For Wye-connected VTs, the secondary nominal voltage (1 pu) would be:
13800
---------------- × 120
---------- = 66.4 V (EQ 5.2)
14400 3
Many settings are common to most elements and are discussed below:
• FUNCTION setting: This setting programs the element to be operational when selected as “Enabled”. The factory
default is “Disabled”. Once programmed to “Enabled”, any element associated with the Function becomes active and
all options become available.
• NAME setting: This setting is used to uniquely identify the element.
5 • SOURCE setting: This setting is used to select the parameter or set of parameters to be monitored.
• PICKUP setting: For simple elements, this setting is used to program the level of the measured parameter above or
below which the pickup state is established. In more complex elements, a set of settings may be provided to define the
range of the measured parameters which will cause the element to pickup.
• PICKUP DELAY setting: This setting sets a time-delay-on-pickup, or on-delay, for the duration between the Pickup
and Operate output states.
• RESET DELAY setting: This setting is used to set a time-delay-on-dropout, or off-delay, for the duration between the
Operate output state and the return to logic 0 after the input transits outside the defined pickup range.
• BLOCK setting: The default output operand state of all comparators is a logic 0 or “flag not set”. The comparator
remains in this default state until a logic 1 is asserted at the RUN input, allowing the test to be performed. If the RUN
input changes to logic 0 at any time, the comparator returns to the default state. The RUN input is used to supervise
the comparator. The BLOCK input is used as one of the inputs to RUN control.
• TARGET setting: This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When set to Disabled, no
target message or illumination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued upon operation of the element. When set to Self-
Reset, the target message and LED indication follow the Operate state of the element, and self-resets once the oper-
ate element condition clears. When set to Latched, the target message and LED indication will remain visible after the
element output returns to logic 0 - until a RESET command is received by the relay.
• EVENTS setting: This setting is used to control whether the Pickup, Dropout or Operate states are recorded by the
event recorder. When set to Disabled, element pickup, dropout or operate are not recorded as events. When set to
Enabled, events are created for:
(Element) PKP (pickup)
(Element) DPO (dropout)
(Element) OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to
the dropout state (logic 0). This could happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not ‘0’.

5.1.3 INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES
a) BACKGROUND
The L90 may be used on systems with breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations. In these applications, each of the two
three-phase sets of individual phase currents (one associated with each breaker) can be used as an input to a breaker fail-
ure element. The sum of both breaker phase currents and 3I_0 residual currents may be required for the circuit relaying
and metering functions. Two separate synchrocheck elements can be programmed to check synchronization between two
different buses VT and the line VT. These requirements can be satisfied with a single L90, equipped with sufficient CT and
VT input channels, by selecting proper parameter to measure. A mechanism is provided to specify the AC parameter (or
group of parameters) used as the input to protection/control comparators and some metering elements. Selection of the
measured parameter(s) is partially performed by the design of a measuring element or protection/control comparator by
identifying the measured parameter type (fundamental frequency phasor, harmonic phasor, symmetrical component, total
waveform RMS magnitude, phase-phase or phase-ground voltage, etc.). The user completes the process by selecting the
instrument transformer input channels to use and some parameters calculated from these channels. The input parameters
available include the summation of currents from multiple input channels. For the summed currents of phase, 3I_0, and
ground current, current from CTs with different ratios are adjusted to a single ratio before summation. A mechanism called
a “Source” configures the routing of CT and VT input channels to measurement sub-systems.
Sources, in the context of L90 series relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one
source contains all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given source may
contain all or some of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and
an auxiliary voltages from a single-phase VT for checking for synchronism.
To illustrate the concept of Sources, as applied to current inputs only, consider the breaker-and-a-half scheme below. Some
protection elements, like breaker failure, require individual CT current as an input. Other elements, like distance, require the
sum of both current as an input. The line differential function requires the CT currents to be processed individually to cope
with a possible CT saturation of one CT during an external fault on the upper bus. The current into protected line is the pha-
sor sum (or difference) of the currents in CT1 and CT2, depending on the current distribution on the upper bus. 5
Figure 5–1: BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME

In conventional analog or electronic relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an appropriate external connection of
all CTs through which any portion of the current for the element being protected could flow. Auxiliary CTs are required to
perform ratio matching if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the L90 relay, provisions have
been included for all the current signals to be brought to the device where grouping, CT ratio correction, and summation are
applied internally via configuration settings. Up to 4 currents can be brought into L90 relay; current summation and CT ratio
matching is performed internally. A major advantage of internal summation is that individual currents are available to the
protection device (for example, as additional information to apply a restraint current properly, or to allow the provision of

additional features that operate on the individual currents, such as breaker failure). Given the flexibility of this approach, it
becomes necessary to add configuration settings to the platform to allow the user to select which sets of CT inputs will be
added to form the net current into the protected device. The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an inter-
nal source. This source can be assigned a specific name and becomes available to protection and metering elements in the
relay. Individual names can be given to each source to identify them for later use. For example, in the scheme shown
above, three different sources are be configured as inputs for separate elements:
Source 1: CT1 current, for the Breaker Failure 1 element and first current source for the Line Differential element
Source 2: CT2 current, for Breaker Failure 2 element and second current source for the Line Differential element
Source 3: the sum of the CT1 and CT2 currents for the distance function
In addition, two separate synchrocheck elements can be programmed to check synchronization between line voltage and
two different bus voltages (SRC3–SRC1 and SRC3–SRC2).
b) CT/VT MODULE CONFIGURATION

CT and VT input channels are contained in CT/VT modules. The type of input channel can be phase/neutral/other voltage,
phase/ground current, or sensitive ground current. The CT/VT modules calculate total waveform RMS levels, fundamental
frequency phasors, symmetrical components and harmonics for voltage or current, as allowed by the hardware in each
channel. These modules may calculate other parameters as directed by the CPU module.
A CT/VT module contains up to eight input channels, numbered 1 through 8. The channel numbering corresponds to the
module terminal numbering 1 through 8 and is arranged as follows: Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are always provided as a group,
hereafter called a “bank,” and all four are either current or voltage, as are Channels 5, 6, 7 and 8. Channels 1, 2, 3 and 5, 6,
7 are arranged as phase A, B and C respectively. Channels 4 and 8 are either another current or voltage.
Banks are ordered sequentially from the block of lower-numbered channels to the block of higher-numbered channels, and
from the CT/VT module with the lowest slot position letter to the module with the highest slot position letter, as follows:
5 INCREASING SLOT POSITION LETTER -->

CT/VT MODULE 1 CT/VT MODULE 2 CT/VT MODULE 3
< bank 1 > < bank 3 > < bank 5 >
< bank 2 > < bank 4 > < bank 6 >
The UR platform allows for a maximum of three sets of three-phase voltages and six sets of three-phase currents. The
result of these restrictions leads to the maximum number of CT/VT modules in a chassis to three. The maximum number of
sources is six. A summary of CT/VT module configurations is shown below.
ITEM MAXIMUM NUMBER
CT/VT Module 2
CT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 ground channel) 8
VT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 auxiliary channel) 4

c) CT/VT INPUT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

Upon relay startup, configuration settings for every bank of current or voltage input channels in the relay are automatically
generated from the order code. Within each bank, a channel identification label is automatically assigned to each bank of
channels in a given product. The ‘bank’ naming convention is based on the physical location of the channels, required by
the user to know how to connect the relay to external circuits. Bank identification consists of the letter designation of the slot
in which the CT/VT module is mounted as the first character, followed by numbers indicating the channel, either 1 or 5.
For three-phase channel sets, the number of the lowest numbered channel identifies the set. For example, F1 represents
the three-phase channel set of F1/F2/F3, where F is the slot letter and 1 is the first channel of the set of three channels.
Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and will display them
in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described above) as follows for a maximum configuration: F1,
F5, L1, L5, S1, and S5.
The above section explains how the input channels are identified and configured to the specific application instrument
transformers and the connections of these transformers. The specific parameters to be used by each measuring element
and comparator, and some actual values are controlled by selecting a specific source. The source is a group of current and
voltage input channels selected by the user to facilitate this selection. With this mechanism, a user does not have to make
multiple selections of voltage and current for those elements that need both parameters, such as a distance element or a
watt calculation. It also gathers associated parameters for display purposes.
The basic idea of arranging a source is to select a point on the power system where information is of interest. An applica-
tion example of the grouping of parameters in a Source is a transformer winding, on which a three phase voltage is mea-
sured, and the sum of the currents from CTs on each of two breakers is required to measure the winding current flow.

the oscillography records, clearing fault reports, changing the date and time, clearing the breaker arcing amps, clearing
energy records, clearing the data logger, user-programmable pushbuttons
The following setting operations are under password supervision:
changing any setting, test mode operation
5 The Command and Setting passwords are defaulted to "Null" when the relay is shipped from the factory. When a password
is set to "Null", the password security feature is disabled.
Programming a password code is required to enable each access level. A password consists of one to ten numerical char-
acters. When a CHANGE ... PASSWORD setting is set to “Yes”, the following message sequence is invoked:
1. ENTER NEW PASSWORD: ____________
2. VERIFY NEW PASSWORD: ____________
3. NEW PASSWORD HAS BEEN STORED
To gain write access to a "Restricted" setting, set ACCESS LEVEL to "Setting" and then change the setting, or attempt to
change the setting and follow the prompt to enter the programmed password. If the password is correctly entered, access
will be allowed. If no keys are pressed for longer than 30 minutes or control power is cycled, accessibility will automatically
revert to the "Restricted" level.
If an entered password is lost (or forgotten), consult the factory with the corresponding ENCRYPTED PASSWORD.
In the event that an incorrect Command or Setting password has been entered via the faceplate interface three times within
a three-minute time span, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “On” and the L90 will not allow
Settings or Command access via the faceplate interface for the next ten minutes. The TOO MANY ATTEMPTS – BLOCKED
FOR 10 MIN! flash message will appear upon activation of the ten minute timeout or any other time a user attempts any
change to the defined tier during the ten minute timeout. The LOCAL ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to
“Off” after the expiration of the ten-minute timeout.
In the event that an incorrect Command or Setting password has been entered via the any external communications inter-
face three times within a three-minute time span, the REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “On” and
the L90 will not allow Settings or Command access via the any external communications interface for the next ten minutes.
The REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic™ operand will be set to “Off” after the expiration of the ten-minute timeout.
The L90 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing
a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic™ operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.

5 SETTINGS 5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS RESET UNAUTHORIZED
ALARMS command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, the command level should be password-protected. The
operand does not generate events or targets. If these are required, the operand can be assigned to a digital element pro-
grammed with event logs and/or targets enabled.
If the Setting and Command passwords are identical, this one password allows access to both commands
and settings.
NOTE
When EnerVista UR Setup is used to access a particular level, the user will continue to have access to that

Some relay messaging characteristics can be modified to suit different situations using the display properties settings.
• LANGUAGE: This setting selects the language used to display settings, actual values, and targets. The range is
dependent on the order code of the relay.
• FLASH MESSAGE TIME: Flash messages are status, warning, error, or information messages displayed for several
seconds in response to certain key presses during setting programming. These messages override any normal mes-
sages. The duration of a flash message on the display can be changed to accommodate different reading rates.
• DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT: If the keypad is inactive for a period of time, the relay automatically reverts to a
default message. The inactivity time is modified via this setting to ensure messages remain on the screen long enough
during programming or reading of actual values.
• DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY: To extend phosphor life in the vacuum fluorescent display, the brightness can be
attenuated during default message display. During keypad interrogation, the display always operates at full brightness.
• SCREEN SAVER FEATURE and SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME: These settings are only visible if the L90 has a liquid
crystal display (LCD) and control its backlighting. When the SCREEN SAVER FEATURE is “Enabled”, the LCD backlighting
is turned off after the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT followed by the SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME, providing that no keys
have been pressed and no target messages are active. When a keypress occurs or a target becomes active, the LCD
backlighting is turned on.
• CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the current cut-off threshold. Very low currents (1 to 2% of the
rated value) are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others
prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The L90 applies a cut-
off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substi-

tuted with zero. This applies to phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical compo-
nents. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by
communications protocols. Note that the cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the CURRENT
CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value. Raw current samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off. This setting
does not affect the 87L metering cutoff, which is constantly at 0.02 pu.
• VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the voltage cut-off threshold. Very low secondary voltage measure-
ments (at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed
as zero, while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual sig-
nal. The L90 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below
the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical
components. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those
used by communications protocols. Raw samples of the voltages available via oscillography are not subject cut-off.
The CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are used to determine the metered power cut-off levels. The
power cut-off level is calculated as shown below. For Delta connections:
3 × CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary

3-phase power cut-off = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (EQ 5.3)
VT secondary
For Wye connections:
× CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary-
3-phase power cut-off = 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EQ 5.4)
VT secondary
CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × VT primary × CT primary

per-phase power cut-off = CURRENT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 5.5)
VT secondary
5 where VT primary = VT secondary × VT ratio and CT primary = CT secondary × CT ratio.

For example, given the following settings:
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: “0.02 pu”
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: “1.0 V”
PHASE CT PRIMARY: “100 A”
PHASE VT SECONDARY: “66.4 V”
PHASE VT RATIO: “208.00 : 1"
PHASE VT CONNECTION: “Delta”.
We have:
CT primary = “100 A”, and
VT primary = PHASE VT SECONDARY x PHASE VT RATIO = 66.4 V x 208 = 13811.2 V
The power cut-off is therefore:
power cut-off = (CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL × VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL × CT primary × VT primary)/VT secondary
= ( 3 × 0.02 pu × 1.0 V × 100 A × 13811.2 V) / 66.4 V
= 720.5 watts
Any calculated power value below this cut-off will not be displayed. As well, the three-phase energy data will not accumu-
late if the total power from all three phases does not exceed the power cut-off.
Lower the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL and CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL with care as the relay accepts lower signals
as valid measurements. Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of “0.02
NOTE
pu” for CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and “1.0 V” for VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are recommended.

Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic™ operands. Assigning user-program-
mable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the L90 responds to rising
edges of the configured FlexLogic™ operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
Clearing records with user-programmable operands is not protected by the command password. However, user-program-
mable pushbuttons are protected by the command password. Thus, if they are used to clear records, the user-programma-
ble pushbuttons can provide extra security if required.
For example, to assign User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 to clear demand records, the following settings should be
applied.
1. Assign the clear demand function to Pushbutton 1 by making the following change in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP

The L90 is equipped with up to 3 independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local
use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet or
RS485 port. The rear COM2 port is RS485. The RS485 ports have settings for baud rate and parity. It is important that
these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other equipment that is connected to these ports. Any of
these ports may be connected to a computer running EnerVista UR Setup. This software can download and upload setting
files, view measured parameters, and upgrade the relay firmware. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and con-
nected to a DCS, PLC or PC using the RS485 ports.

For each RS485 port, the minimum time before the port will transmit after receiving data from a host can be
set. This feature allows operation with hosts which hold the RS485 transmitter active for some time after

NSAP address is used with the IEC 61850 protocol over the OSI (CLNP/TP4) stack only. Each network protocol has a set-
ting for the TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER. These settings are used only in advanced network configurations and should normally
be left at their default values, but may be changed if required (for example, to allow access to multiple UR-series relays
behind a router). By setting a different TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER for a given protocol on each UR-series relay, the router can 5
map the relays to the same external IP address. The client software (EnerVista UR Setup, for example) must be configured
to use the correct port number if these settings are used.
When the NSAP address, any TCP/UDP Port Number, or any User Map setting (when used with DNP) is changed,
it will not become active until power to the relay has been cycled (OFF/ON).

only. When using Modbus protocol on the RS232 port, the L90 will respond regardless of the MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS pro-
grammed. For the RS485 ports each L90 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address
which all Modbus slave devices listen to. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same
address or conflicts resulting in errors will occur. Generally, each device added to the link should use the next higher
address starting at 1. Refer to Appendix B for more information on the Modbus protocol.
Changes to the MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER setting will not take effect until the L90 is restarted.

The L90 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The L90 can be used as a DNP slave device con-
nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L90 maintains two sets of DNP
data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the L90 at one time.

The DNP CHANNEL 1(2) PORT settings select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol for each channel. Once
DNP is assigned to a serial port, the Modbus protocol is disabled on that port. Note that COM1 can be used only in non-
Ethernet UR relays. When this setting is set to “Network - TCP”, the DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on channels 1
or 2. When this value is set to “Network - UDP”, the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP on channel 1 only. Refer to
Appendix E for additional information on the DNP protocol.
Changes to the DNP CHANNEL 1(2) PORT settings will take effect only after power has been cycled to the relay.
NOTE
The DNP NETWORK CLIENT ADDRESS settings can force the L90 to respond to a maximum of five specific DNP masters. The

The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION should be “Disabled” for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance
mechanism. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the L90 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited
response. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the L90 retransmits an unsolic-
ited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of “255” allows infinite re-tries. The DNP UNSOL
RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which unsolic-
ited responses are sent is determined by the L90 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP SCALE FACTOR settings are numbers used to scale Analog Input point values. These settings group the L90 Ana-
log Input data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other. Each setting represents the scale factor for all Analog
Input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to a value of 1000, all DNP Analog
Input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (e.g. a value of 72000 V on the L90 will be
5 returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP
masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (i.e. the value will be 10 times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing Analog Input data. These
settings group the L90 Analog Input data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other. Each setting represents the
default deadband value for all Analog Input points of that type. For example, to trigger unsolicited responses from the L90
when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND setting should be set to “15”. Note that
these settings are the deadband default values. DNP Object 34 points can be used to change deadband values, from the
default, for each individual DNP Analog Input point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the L90, the default
deadbands will be in effect.
The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the L90.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be
necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
When the DNP data points (analog inputs and/or binary inputs) are configured for Ethernet-enabled relays,
check the “DNP Points Lists” L90 web page to view the points lists. This page can be viewed with a web
NOTE
browser by entering the L90 IP address to access the L90 “Main Menu”, then by selecting the “Device Infor-
mation Menu” > “DNP Points Lists” menu item.
The DNP OBJECT N DEFAULT VARIATION settings allow the user to select the DNP default variation number for object types 1,
2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation response when variation 0 is requested and/or in
class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Refer to the DNP Implementation section in Appendix E for additional details.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the L90 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP
master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The L90 can be configured to sup-
port paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED CONTROL
POINTS setting allows configuration of from 0 to 32 binary output paired controls. Points not configured as paired operate on
a one-to-one basis.

The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the L90 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.

The L90 Line Differential Relay is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications capability. This fea-
ture is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. Refer to the Ordering section of chapter 2 for
additional details. The IEC 61850 protocol feature are not available if CPU Type E is ordered.
The L90 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported
over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over ethernet and TP4/CLNP (OSI) over ethernet. The L90 operates as an IEC 61850
server. The Remote Inputs/Outputs section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.
The REMOTE I/O TRANSFER METHOD selects the method used to transfer remote input/output data. This can be either IEC
61850 GSSE, IEC 61850 GOOSE, or none (remote inputs/outputs disabled). GOOSE messages are more efficient and can
make use of Ethernet priority tagging and virtual LAN functionality. All relays exchanging remote input/output data must be
set to the same transfer method.
The DEFAULT GSSE/GOOSE UPDATE TIME sets the time between GSSE or GOOSE messages when there are no remote out-
put state changes to be sent. When remote output data changes, GSSE or GOOSE messages are sent immediately. This
setting controls the steady-state ‘heartbeat’ time interval.
5
The GOOSE TRANSMIT VLAN PRIORITY setting indicates the Ethernet priority of GOOSE messages. This allows GOOSE
messages to have higher priority than other Ethernet data. The GOOSE TRANSMIT ETYPE APPID setting allows the selection
of a specific application ID for each GOOSE sending device. This value can be left at its default if the feature is not
required. Both the GOOSE TRANSMIT VLAN PRIORITY and GOOSE TRANSMIT ETYPE APPID settings are required by IEC 61850.
The LD NAME setting represents the MMS domain name (IEC 61850 logical device) where all IEC/MMS logical nodes are
located. The IEC/MMS TCP PORT NUMBER setting allows the user to change the TCP port number for MMS connections. The
INCLUDE NON-IEC DATA setting determines whether or not the “UR” MMS domain will be available. This domain contains a
large number of UR-series specific data items that are not available in the IEC 61850 logical nodes. This data does not fol-
low the IEC 61850 naming conventions. For communications schemes that strictly follow the IEC 61850 standard, this set-
ting should be “Disabled”.
The NUMBER OF STATUS POINTS IN GGIO1 setting determines the number of “Ind” (single point status indications) that are
instantiated in the GGIO1 logical node. The indication points in GGIO1 are mapped to FlexStates in the L90. These Flex-
States allow user-customized access to the FlexLogic™ operand states in the relay.
The SERVER SCANNING feature should be set to “Disabled” when IEC 61850 client/server functionality is not required. IEC
61850 has two modes of functionality: GOOSE/GSSE inter-device communication and client/server communication. If the
GOOSE/GSSE functionality is required without the IEC 61850 client server feature, then server scanning can be disabled
to increase CPU resources. When server scanning is disabled, there will be not updated to the IEC 61850 logical node sta-
tus values in the L90. Clients will still be able to connect to the server (L90 relay), but most data values will not be updated.
This setting does not affect GOOSE/GSSE operation.
Changes to the LD NAME, NUMBER OF STATUS POINTS IN GGIO1, and SERVER SCANNING settings will not take effect
until the L90 is restarted.
NOTE
The CLEAR XCBR1(2) OpCnt settings represent the breaker operating counters. As breakers operate by opening and closing,
the XCBR operating counter status attribute (OpCnt) increments with every operation. Frequent breaker operation may
result in very large OpCnt values over time. This setting allows the OpCnt to be reset to “0” for XCBR1 and XCBR2.
The IEC 61850 logical node name prefix settings are used to create name prefixes to uniquely identify each logical node.
For example, the logical node “PTOC1” may have the name prefix “abc”. The full logical node name will then be
“abcMMXU1”. Valid characters for the logical node name prefixes are upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and the
underscore (_) character, and the first character in the prefix must be a letter. This conforms to the IEC 61850 standard.

The MMXU deadband settings represent the deadband values used to determine when the update the MMXU “mag” and
“cVal” values from the associated “instmag” and “instcVal” values. The “mag” and “cVal” values are used for the IEC 61850
buffered and unbuffered reports. These settings correspond to the associated “db” data items in the CF functional con-
straint of the MMXU logical node, as per the IEC 61850 standard. According to IEC 61850-7-3, the db value “shall repre-
sent the percentage of difference between the maximum and minimum in units of 0.00%”. Thus, it is important to know the
maximum value for each MMXU measured quantity, since this represents the 100.00% value for the deadband.
The minimum value for all quantities is 0; the maximum values are as follows:
phase current: 46 × phase CT primary setting
neutral current: 46 × ground CT primary setting
voltage: 275 × VT ratio setting
power (real, reactive, and apparent): 46 × phase CT primary setting × 275 × VT ratio setting
frequency: 90 Hz

The L90 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The L90 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to a
maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the L90 maintains two sets of IEC
60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the L90 at one time.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses containing
M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the L90 analog data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other.
Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that type. For example, to trigger
spontaneous responses from the L90 when any current values change by 15 A, the IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD set-
ting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. P_ME_NC_1 (parameter of mea-
sured value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the default, for each individual
M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the L90, the default thresholds will be in effect.
The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols can not be used at the same time. When the IEC 60870-5-104 FUNC-
TION setting is set to “Enabled”, the DNP protocol will not be operational. When this setting is changed it

The L90 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the L90 can obtain clock time over
an Ethernet network. The L90 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a dedicated
product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.

If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the time value to the L90 clock for
as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If
either SNTP or IRIG-B is enabled, the L90 clock value cannot be changed using the front panel keypad.
To use SNTP in unicast mode, SNTP SERVER IP ADDR must be set to the SNTP/NTP server IP address. Once this address is
set and SNTP FUNCTION is “Enabled”, the L90 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP/NTP server. Since many time
values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the L90 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the L90 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the SNTP SERVER IP ADDR setting to “0.0.0.0” and SNTP FUNCTION to “Enabled”. The
L90 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the “all ones” broadcast address for the subnet. The L90 waits up to eighteen
minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
The UR-series relays do not support the multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.

The L90 relay supports one fault report and an associated fault locator. The signal source and trigger condition, as well as
the characteristics of the line or feeder, are entered in this menu. 5
The fault report stores data, in non-volatile memory, pertinent to an event when triggered. The captured data contained in
the FaultReport.txt file includes:
• Fault report number
• Name of the relay, programmed by the user
• Firmware revision of the relay
• Date and time of trigger
• Name of trigger (specific operand)
• Line/Feeder ID via the name of a configured signal source
• Active setting group at the time of trigger
• Pre-fault current and voltage phasors (one-quarter cycle before the trigger)
• Fault current and voltage phasors (three-quarter cycle after the trigger)
• Elements operated at the time of triggering
• Events: 9 before trigger and 7 after trigger (only available via the relay webpage)
• Fault duration times for each breaker (created by the Breaker Arcing Current feature)
The fault locator does not report fault type or location if the source VTs are connected in the Delta configuration.
NOTE
The captured data also includes the fault type and the distance to the fault location, as well as the reclose shot number
(when applicable) The Fault Locator does not report fault type or location if the source VTs are connected in the Delta con-
figuration. To include fault duration times in the fault report, the user must enable and configure Breaker Arcing Current fea-
ture for each of the breakers. Fault duration is reported on a per-phase basis.

The trigger can be any FlexLogic™ operand, but in most applications it is expected to be the same operand, usually a vir-
tual output, that is used to drive an output relay to trip a breaker. To prevent the overwriting of fault events, the disturbance
detector should not be used to trigger a fault report. A FAULT RPT TRIG event is automatically created when the report is
triggered.
If a number of protection elements are ORed to create a fault report trigger, the first operation of any element causing the
OR gate output to become high triggers a fault report. However, If other elements operate during the fault and the first oper-
ated element has not been reset (the OR gate output is still high), the fault report is not triggered again. Considering the
reset time of protection elements, there is very little chance that fault report can be triggered twice in this manner. As the
fault report must capture a usable amount of pre and post-fault data, it can not be triggered faster than every 20 ms.
Each fault report is stored as a file; the relay capacity is fifteen (15) files. An sixteenth (16th) trigger overwrites the oldest
file.
The EnerVista UR Setup software is required to view all captured data. The relay faceplate display can be used to view the
date and time of trigger, the fault type, the distance location of the fault, and the reclose shot number.
The FAULT REPORT 1 SOURCE setting selects the source for input currents and voltages and disturbance detection. The
FAULT 1 REPORT TRIG setting assigns the FlexLogic™ operand representing the protection element/elements requiring oper-
ational fault location calculations. The distance to fault calculations are initiated by this signal. The FAULT REPORT 1 Z1 MAG
and FAULT REPORT 1 Z0 MAG impedances are entered in secondary ohms.

Oscillography records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as other relay data at the point of trigger.

tured simultaneously.
The NUMBER OF RECORDS is selectable, but the number of cycles captured in a single record varies considerably based on
other factors such as sample rate and the number of operational CT/VT modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage
for oscillography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the ACTUAL VALUES

A new record may automatically overwrite an older record if TRIGGER MODE is set to “Automatic Overwrite”.
Set the TRIGGER POSITION to a percentage of the total buffer size (e.g. 10%, 50%, 75%, etc.). A trigger position of 25% con-
sists of 25% pre- and 75% post-trigger data. The TRIGGER SOURCE is always captured in oscillography and may be any
FlexLogic™ parameter (element state, contact input, virtual output, etc.). The relay sampling rate is 64 samples per cycle.
The AC INPUT WAVEFORMS setting determines the sampling rate at which AC input signals (i.e. current and voltage) are
stored. Reducing the sampling rate allows longer records to be stored. This setting has no effect on the internal sampling
rate of the relay which is always 64 samples per cycle, i.e. it has no effect on the fundamental calculations of the device.
When changes are made to the oscillography settings, all existing oscillography records will be CLEARED.

All data is stored in non-volatile memory, meaning that the information is retained when power to the relay is lost.
For a fixed sampling rate, the data logger can be configured with a few channels over a long period or a larger number of
channels for a shorter period. The relay automatically partitions the available memory between the channels in use. Exam-

The relay measures current demand on each phase, and three-phase demand for real, reactive, and apparent power. Cur-
rent and Power methods can be chosen separately for the convenience of the user. Settings are provided to allow the user
to emulate some common electrical utility demand measuring techniques, for statistical or control purposes. If the CRNT
DEMAND METHOD is set to "Block Interval" and the DEMAND TRIGGER is set to “Off”, Method 2 is used (see below). If
DEMAND TRIGGER is assigned to any other FlexLogic™ operand, Method 2a is used (see below).
The relay can be set to calculate demand by any of three methods as described below:
CALCULATION METHOD 1: THERMAL EXPONENTIAL
This method emulates the action of an analog peak recording thermal demand meter. The relay measures the quantity
(RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent power) on each phase every second, and assumes the circuit quan-
tity remains at this value until updated by the next measurement. It calculates the 'thermal demand equivalent' based on the
following equation:
– kt
d(t) = D(1 – e ) (EQ 5.6)

where: d = demand value after applying input quantity for time t (in minutes)
D = input quantity (constant), and k = 2.3 / thermal 90% response time.
The 90% thermal response time characteristic of 15 minutes is illustrated below. A setpoint establishes the time to reach
90% of a steady-state value, just as the response time of an analog instrument. A steady state value applied for twice the
response time will indicate 99% of the value.

CALCULATION METHOD 2: BLOCK INTERVAL
This method calculates a linear average of the quantity (RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent power) over
the programmed demand time interval, starting daily at 00:00:00 (i.e. 12:00 am). The 1440 minutes per day is divided into
the number of blocks as set by the programmed time interval. Each new value of demand becomes available at the end of
each time interval.
CALCULATION METHOD 2a: BLOCK INTERVAL (with Start Demand Interval Logic Trigger)
the interval between successive Start Demand Interval logic input pulses. Each new value of demand becomes available at
the end of each pulse. Assign a FlexLogic™ operand to the DEMAND TRIGGER setting to program the input for the new
5 demand interval pulses.
If no trigger is assigned in the DEMAND TRIGGER setting and the CRNT DEMAND METHOD is "Block Interval", use cal-
culating method #2. If a trigger is assigned, the maximum allowed time between 2 trigger signals is 60 minutes. If
NOTE
no trigger signal appears within 60 minutes, demand calculations are performed and available and the algorithm
resets and starts the new cycle of calculations. The minimum required time for trigger contact closure is 20 μs.

When enabled, the LED Test can be initiated from any digital input or user-programmable condition such as user-program-
mable pushbutton. The control operand is configured under the LED TEST CONTROL setting. The test covers all LEDs,
including the LEDs of the optional user-programmable pushbuttons.
The test consists of three stages.
Stage 1: All 62 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is “burned”. This stage
lasts as long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the test will end.
Stage 2: All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for 1 second, then back off. The test routine
starts at the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures
that lead to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
Stage 3: All the LEDs are turned on. One LED at a time turns off for 1 second, then back on. The test routine starts at
the top left panel moving from top to bottom of each column of the LEDs. This test checks for hardware failures that
lead to more than one LED being turned off from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and monitor-
ing features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay and
stores the actual LED states (On or Off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting
from relay response during testing. The Reset pushbutton will not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress. 5
A dedicated FlexLogic™ operand, LED TEST IN PROGRESS, is set for the duration of the test. When the test sequence is ini-
tiated, the LED Test Initiated event is stored in the Event Recorder.
The entire test procedure is user-controlled. In particular, Stage 1 can last as long as necessary, and Stages 2 and 3 can be
interrupted. The test responds to the position and rising edges of the control input defined by the LED TEST CONTROL set-
ting. The control pulses must last at least 250 ms to take effect. The following diagram explains how the test is executed.

Control pushbuttons are not typically used for critical operations and are not protected by the control password. However,
by supervising their output operands, the user can dynamically enable or disable control pushbuttons for security reasons.
Each control pushbutton asserts its own FlexLogic™ operand, CONTROL PUSHBTN 1(7) ON. These operands should be
configured appropriately to perform the desired function. The operand remains asserted as long as the pushbutton is
pressed and resets when the pushbutton is released. A dropout delay of 100 ms is incorporated to ensure fast pushbutton
manipulation will be recognized by various features that may use control pushbuttons as inputs.
An event is logged in the Event Record (as per user setting) when a control pushbutton is pressed; no event is logged when
the pushbutton is released. The faceplate keys (including control keys) cannot be operated simultaneously – a given key
must be released before the next one can be pressed.
The control pushbuttons become user-programmable only if the Breaker Control feature is not configured for manual con-
trol via the User 1 through 3 pushbuttons as shown below. If configured for manual control, Breaker Control typically uses
the larger, optional user-programmable pushbuttons, making the control pushbuttons available for other user applications.

Each pushbutton asserts its own On and Off FlexLogic™ operands, respectively. FlexLogic™ operands should be used to
program desired pushbutton actions. The operand names are PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF.
A pushbutton may be programmed to latch or self-reset. An indicating LED next to each pushbutton signals the present sta-
tus of the corresponding "On" FlexLogic™ operand. When set to "Latched", the state of each pushbutton is stored in non-
volatile memory which is maintained during any supply power loss.
Pushbuttons states can be logged by the Event Recorder and displayed as target messages. User-defined messages can
also be associated with each pushbutton and displayed when the pushbutton is ON.
• PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: This setting selects the characteristic of the pushbutton. If set to “Disabled”, the push-
button is deactivated and the corresponding FlexLogic™ operands (both “On” and “Off”) are de-asserted. If set to
“Self-reset”, the control logic of the pushbutton asserts the “On” corresponding FlexLogic™ operand as long as the
pushbutton is being pressed. As soon as the pushbutton is released, the FlexLogic™ operand is de-asserted. The
“Off” operand is asserted/de-asserted accordingly.
If set to “Latched”, the control logic alternates the state of the corresponding FlexLogic™ operand between “On” and
“Off” on each push of the button. When operating in “Latched” mode, FlexLogic™ operand states are stored in non-vol-
atile memory. Should power be lost, the correct pushbutton state is retained upon subsequent power up of the relay.

• PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT: This setting specifies the top 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
intended to provide ID information of the pushbutton. Refer to the User-Definable Displays section for instructions on
how to enter alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
• PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is in the “on” position. Refer to the User-Definable Displays section for instructions on
entering alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
• PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is activated from the On to the Off position and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is
“Latched”. This message is not displayed when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is “Self-reset” as the pushbutton operand
status is implied to be “Off” upon its release. All user text messaging durations for the pushbuttons are configured with
the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
• PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: This setting specifies a drop-out time delay for a pushbutton in the self-reset mode. A
typical applications for this setting is providing a select-before-operate functionality. The selecting pushbutton should
have the drop-out time set to a desired value. The operating pushbutton should be logically ANDed with the selecting
pushbutton in FlexLogic™. The selecting pushbutton LED remains on for the duration of the drop-out time, signaling
the time window for the intended operation.
For example, consider a relay with the following settings: PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT: “AUTORECLOSER”, PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT:
“DISABLED - CALL 2199", and PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT: “ENABLED”. When Pushbutton 1 changes its state to the “On” posi-
tion, the following AUTOCLOSER DISABLED – Call 2199 message is displayed: When Pushbutton 1 changes its state to the
“Off” position, the message will change to AUTORECLOSER ENABLED.
User-programmable pushbuttons require a type HP relay faceplate. If an HP-type faceplate was ordered sepa-
rately, the relay order code must be changed to indicate the HP faceplate option. This can be done via EnerVista

so that 16 states may be read out in a single Modbus register. The state bits can be configured so that all of the states
which are of interest to the user are available in a minimum number of Modbus registers.
The state bits may be read out in the “Flex States” register array beginning at Modbus address 900 hex. 16 states are
packed into each register, with the lowest-numbered state in the lowest-order bit. There are 16 registers in total to accom-
modate the 256 state bits.

This menu provides a mechanism for manually creating up to 16 user-defined information displays in a convenient viewing
sequence in the USER DISPLAYS menu (between the TARGETS and ACTUAL VALUES top-level menus). The sub-menus facili-
tate text entry and Modbus Register data pointer options for defining the User Display content.
Once programmed, the user-definable displays can be viewed in two ways.
• KEYPAD: Use the Menu key to select the USER DISPLAYS menu item to access the first user-definable display (note
that only the programmed screens are displayed). The screens can be scrolled using the Up and Down keys. The dis-
play disappears after the default message time-out period specified by the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting.
• USER-PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL INPUT: The user-definable displays also respond to the INVOKE AND SCROLL
setting. Any FlexLogic™ operand (in particular, the user-programmable pushbutton operands), can be used to navi-
5 gate the programmed displays.
On the rising edge of the configured operand (such as when the pushbutton is pressed), the displays are invoked by
showing the last user-definable display shown during the previous activity. From this moment onward, the operand
acts exactly as the Down key and allows scrolling through the configured displays. The last display wraps up to the first
one. The INVOKE AND SCROLL input and the Down keypad key operate concurrently.
When the default timer expires (set by the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting), the relay will start to cycle through the
user displays. The next activity of the INVOKE AND SCROLL input stops the cycling at the currently displayed user dis-
play, not at the first user-defined display. The INVOKE AND SCROLL pulses must last for at least 250 ms to take effect.

Any existing system display can be automatically copied into an available user display by selecting the existing display and
pressing the key. The display will then prompt ADD TO USER DISPLAY LIST?. After selecting “Yes”, a message indi-
cates that the selected display has been added to the user display list. When this type of entry occurs, the sub-menus are
automatically configured with the proper content – this content may subsequently be edited.
This menu is used to enter user-defined text and/or user-selected Modbus-registered data fields into the particular user
display. Each user display consists of two 20-character lines (top and bottom). The tilde (~) character is used to mark the
start of a data field - the length of the data field needs to be accounted for. Up to 5 separate data fields (ITEM 1(5)) can be
entered in a user display - the nth tilde (~) refers to the nth item.
A User Display may be entered from the faceplate keypad or the EnerVista UR Setup interface (preferred for convenience).
The following procedure shows how to enter text characters in the top and bottom lines from the faceplate keypad:
1. Select the line to be edited.
2. Press the key to enter text edit mode.
3. Use either Value key to scroll through the characters. A space is selected like a character.
4. Press the key to advance the cursor to the next position.
5. Repeat step 3 and continue entering characters until the desired text is displayed.
6. The key may be pressed at any time for context sensitive help information.
7. Press the key to store the new settings.
To enter a numerical value for any of the 5 items (the decimal form of the selected Modbus address) from the faceplate key-
pad, use the number keypad. Use the value of ‘0’ for any items not being used. Use the key at any selected system
display (setting, actual value, or command) which has a Modbus address, to view the hexadecimal form of the Modbus
address, then manually convert it to decimal form before entering it (EnerVista UR Setup usage conveniently facilitates this
conversion). 5
Use the key to go to the user displays menu to view the user-defined content. The current user displays will show in
sequence, changing every 4 seconds. While viewing a user display, press the key and then select the ‘Yes” option
to remove the display from the user display list. Use the key again to exit the user displays menu.

Xa, where X = {F, L} and a = {1, 5}.
See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in Wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = Neutral Current = 3Io) is used as the
5
input for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero-sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the
circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor may also be used. For this configuration, the ground
CT primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input may be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. Refer to Chapter 3 for more details on CT connections.
Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct opera-
tion, the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
The following example illustrates how multiple CT inputs (current banks) are summed as one source current. Given If the
following current banks:
F1: CT bank with 500:1 ratio; F5: CT bank with 1000: ratio
The following rule applies:
SRC 1 = F1 + F5 + L1 (EQ 5.7)
1 pu is the highest primary current. In this case, 1000 is entered and the secondary current from the 500:1 ratio CT will be
adjusted to that created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to act on SRC 1 currents, then
a pickup level of 1 pu will operate on 1000 A primary.
The same rule applies for current sums from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).

With VTs installed, the relay can perform voltage measurements as well as power calculations. Enter the PHASE VT F5 CON-
NECTION made to the system as “Wye” or “Delta”. An open-delta source VT connection would be entered as “Delta”. See
the Typical Wiring Diagram in Chapter 3 for details.
The nominal PHASE VT F5 SECONDARY voltage setting is the voltage across the relay input terminals when nominal
voltage is applied to the VT primary.
NOTE
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with a 14400:120 volt VT in a Delta connec-
tion, the secondary voltage would be 115, i.e. (13800 / 14400) × 120. For a Wye connection, the voltage value
entered must be the phase to neutral voltage which would be 115 / 3 = 66.4.
On a 14.4 kV system with a Delta connection and a VT primary to secondary turns ratio of 14400:120, the voltage
value entered would be 120, i.e. 14400 / 120.

The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY value is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if the system frequency
cannot be measured from available signals. This may happen if the signals are not present or are heavily distorted. Before
reverting to the nominal frequency, the frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid frequency measurement for a safe
period of time while waiting for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.

The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be con-
nected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.
The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting determines which signal source is used (and hence which AC signal) for
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing ( V ANGLE REF = V A ), while Clarke transformation of the
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking ( V FREQUENCY = ( 2V A – V B – V C ) ⁄ 3 ) for better performance dur-
ing fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal will always display zero degrees and all other phase angles will be relative to this sig-
nal. If the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR-series relays if they
have the same AC signal reference. These results in very precise correlation of time tagging in the event recorder between
different UR-series relays provided the relays have an IRIG-B connection.
FREQUENCY TRACKING should only be set to "Disabled" in very unusual circumstances; consult the factory for spe-
cial variable-frequency applications.
NOTE
The nominal system frequency should be selected as 50 Hz or 60 Hz only. The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE
setting, used as a reference for calculating all angles, must be identical for all terminals. Whenever the 87L function
NOTE
is “Enabled”, the frequency tracking function is disabled, and frequency tracking is driven by the L90 algorithm (see
the Theory of Operation chapter). Whenever the 87L function is “Disabled”, the frequency tracking mechanism 5
reverts to the UR-series mechanism which uses the FREQUENCY TRACKING setting to provide frequency tracking for
all other elements and functions.

Four identical source menus are available. The "SRC 1" text can be replaced by with a user-defined name appropriate for
the associated source.
“F” and “L” represent the module slot position. The number directly following these letters represents either the first bank of
four channels (1, 2, 3, 4) called “1” or the second bank of four channels (5, 6, 7, 8) called “5” in a particular CT/VT module.
Refer to the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details on this concept.
It is possible to select the sum of up to six (6) CTs. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be referred.
For example, the selection “F1+F5” indicates the sum of each phase from channels “F1” and “F5”, scaled to whichever CT
has the higher ratio. Selecting “None” hides the associated actual values.

The approach used to configure the AC sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each source is entered,
including specifying which CTs will be summed together.
User Selection of AC Parameters for Comparator Elements:
CT/VT modules automatically calculate all current and voltage parameters from the available inputs. Users must select the
specific input parameters to be measured by every element in the relevant settings menu. The internal design of the ele-
ment specifies which type of parameter to use and provides a setting for source selection. In elements where the parameter
may be either fundamental or RMS magnitude, such as phase time overcurrent, two settings are provided. One setting
specifies the source, the second setting selects between fundamental phasor and RMS.
AC Input Actual Values:
The calculated parameters associated with the configured voltage and current inputs are displayed in the current and volt-
age sections of actual values. Only the phasor quantities associated with the actual AC physical input channels will be dis-

DISTURBANCE DETECTORS (INTERNAL):
The 50DD element is a sensitive current disturbance detector that detects any disturbance on the protected system. 50DD
is intended for use in conjunction with measuring elements, blocking of current based elements (to prevent maloperation as
a result of the wrong settings), and starting oscillography data capture. A disturbance detector is provided for each Source.
The 50DD function responds to the changes in magnitude of the sequence currents. The disturbance detector scheme
logic is as follows:

The disturbance detector responds to the change in currents of twice the current cut-off level. The default cut-off threshold
is 0.02 pu; thus by default the disturbance detector responds to a change of 0.04 pu. The metering sensitivity setting (PROD-
UCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL) controls the sensitivity of the disturbance detector
accordingly.
An example of the use of sources, with a relay with two CT/VT modules, is shown in the diagram below. A relay could have
the following hardware configuration:

This configuration could be used on a two winding transformer, with one winding connected into a breaker-and-a-half sys-
tem. The following figure shows the arrangement of sources used to provide the functions required in this application, and

Any changes to the L90 Power System settings will change the protection system configuration. As such,
the 87L protection at all L90 protection system terminals must be temporarily disabled to allow the relays
NOTE
to acknowledge the new settings.
• NUMBER OF TERMINALS: This setting is the number of the terminals of the associated protected line.
• NUMBER OF CHANNELS: This setting should correspond to the type of communications module installed. If the relay
is applied on two terminal lines with a single communications channel, this setting should be selected as "1". For a two
terminal line with a second redundant channel for increased dependability, or for three terminal line applications, this
setting should be selected as "2".
• CHARGING CURRENT COMPENSATION: This setting enables/disables the charging current calculations and cor-
rections of current phasors. The voltage signals used for charging current compensation are taken from the source
assigned with the CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 1 setting. As such, it's critical to ensure that three-phase line voltage is
assigned to this source. The following diagram shows possible configurations.

• POSITIVE and ZERO SEQUENCE CAPACITIVE REACTANCE: The values of positive and zero sequence capacitive
reactance of the protected line are required for charging current compensation calculations. The line capacitive reac-
tance values should be entered in primary kohms for the total line length. Details of the charging current compensa-
tion algorithm can be found in Chapter 8: Theory of Operation.
If shunt reactors are also installed on the line, the resulting value entered in the POS SEQ CAPACITIVE REACTANCE and
ZERO SEQ CAPACITIVE REACTANCE settings should be calculated as follows:
1. 3-reactor arrangement: three identical line reactors (Xreact) solidly connected phase to ground:
X 1line_capac ⋅ X react
X C1 = ------------------------------------------------
X 0line_capac ⋅ X react
, X C0 = ------------------------------------------------ (EQ 5.8)
5
X react – X 1line_capac X react – X 0line_capac
2. 4-reactor arrangement: three identical line reactors (Xreact) wye-connected with the fourth reactor (Xreact_n) con-
nected between reactor-bank neutral and the ground.
X 1line_capac ⋅ X react X 0line_capac ⋅ ( X react + 3 X react_n )
X C1 = ------------------------------------------------ , X C0 = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 5.9)
X react – X 1line_capac X react + 3 X react_n – X 0line_capac
X1line_capac = the total line positive sequence capacitive reactance

X0line_capac = the total line zero sequence capacitive reactance
Xreact = the total reactor inductive reactance per phase. If identical reactors are installed at both ends of the line,
the value of the inductive reactance is divided by 2 (or 3 for a 3-terminal line) before using in the above
equations. If the reactors installed at both ends of the line are different, the following equations apply:

Xreact_n = the total neutral reactor inductive reactance. If identical reactors are installed at both ends of the line,
the value of the inductive reactance is divided by 2 (or 3 for a 3-terminal line) before using in the above
equations. If the reactors installed at both ends of the line are different, the following equations apply:

Charging current compensation calculations should be performed for an arrangement where the VTs are con-
nected to the line side of the circuit; otherwise, opening the breaker at one end of the line will cause a calcula-
NOTE
tion error.
Differential current is significantly decreased when CHARGING CURRENT COMPENSATION is “Enabled” and the
proper reactance values are entered. The effect of charging current compensation is viewed in the METERING
NOTE
87L DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT actual values menu. This effect is very dependent on CT and VT accuracy.

• ZERO-SEQUENCE CURRENT REMOVAL: This setting facilitates application of the L90 to transmission lines with
tapped transformer(s) without current measurement at the tap(s). If the tapped transformer is connected in a grounded
wye on the line side, it becomes a source of the zero-sequence current for external ground faults. As the transformer
current is not measured by the L90 protection system, the zero-sequence current would create a spurious differential
signal and may cause a false trip.
If enabled, this setting forces the L90 to remove zero-sequence current from the phase currents prior to forming their
differential signals, ensuring protection stability on external ground faults. However, zero-sequence current removal
may cause all three phases to trip for internal ground faults. Consequently, a phase selective operation of the L90 is
not retained if the setting is enabled. This does not impose any limitation, as single-pole tripping is not recommended
for lines with tapped transformers. Refer to Chapter 9 for guidelines.
• LOCAL (TERMINAL 1 and TERMINAL 2) ID NUMBER: In installations using multiplexers or modems for communica-
tion, it is desirable to ensure the data used by the relays protecting a given line comes from the correct relays. The L90
performs this check by reading the ID number contained in the messages sent by transmitting relays and comparing
this ID to the programmed correct ID numbers by the receiving relays. This check is used to block the differential ele-
ment of a relay, if the channel is inadvertently set to Loopback mode, by recognizing its own ID on a received channel.
If an incorrect ID is found on a either channel during normal operation, the FlexLogic™ operand 87 CH1(2) ID FAIL is
set, driving the event with the same name. The result of channel identification is also available in ACTUAL VALUES
STATUS CHANNEL TESTS VALIDITY OF CHANNEL CONFIGURATION for commissioning purposes. The default value
“0” at local relay ID setting indicates that the channel ID number is not to be checked. Refer to the Current Differential
section in this chapter for additional information.
For two-terminal applications, only the LOCAL ID NUMBER and TERMINAL 1 ID NUMBER should be used. The TERMINAL 2
ID NUMBER is used for three-terminal applications.
• CHNL ASYM COMP: This setting enables/disables channel asymmetry compensation. The compensation is based on
absolute time referencing provided by GPS-based clocks via the L90 IRIG-B inputs. This feature should be used on
5 multiplexed channels where channel asymmetry can be expected and would otherwise cause errors in current differ-
ential calculations. The feature takes effect if all terminals are provided with reliable IRIG-B signals. If the IRIG-B signal
is lost at any terminal of the L90 protection system, or the real time clock not configured, then the compensation is not
calculated. If the compensation is in place prior to losing the GPS time reference, the last (memorized) correction is
applied as long as the value of CHNL ASYM COMP is “On”. See Chapter 9 for additional information.
The GPS-based compensation for channel asymmetry can take three different effects:
• If CHNL ASYM COMP (GPS) is “Off”, compensation is not applied and the L90 uses only the ping-pong technique.
• If CHNL ASYM COMP (GPS) is “On” and all L90 terminals have a valid time reference (BLOCK GPS TIME REF not set),
then compensation is applied and the L90 effectively uses GPS time referencing tracking channel asymmetry if
the latter fluctuates.
• If CHNL ASYM COMP (GPS) is “On” and not all L90 terminals have a valid time reference (BLOCK GPS TIME REF not
set or IRIG-B FAILURE operand is not asserted), then compensation is not applied (if the system was not compen-
sated prior to the problem), or the memorized (last valid) compensation is used if compensation was in effect prior
to the problem.
The CHNL ASYM COMP setting dynamically turns the GPS compensation on and off. A FlexLogic™ operand that com-
bines several factors is typically used. The L90 protection system does not incorporate any pre-defined way of treating
certain conditions, such as failure of the GPS receiver, loss of satellite signal, channel asymmetry prior to the loss of
reference time, or change of the round trip time prior to loss of the time reference. Virtually any philosophy can be pro-
grammed by selecting the CHNL ASYM COMP setting. Factors to consider are:
• Fail-safe output of the GPS receiver. Some receivers may be equipped with the fail-safe output relay. The L90 sys-
tem requires a maximum error of 250 μs. The fail-safe output of the GPS receiver may be connected to the local
L90 via an input contact. In the case of GPS receiver fail, the channel compensation function can be effectively
disabled by using the input contact in conjunction with the BLOCK GPS TIME REF (GPS) setting.
• Channel asymmetry prior to losing the GPS time reference. This value is measured by the L90 and a user-pro-
grammable threshold is applied to it. The corresponding FlexLogic™ operands are produced if the asymmetry is
above the threshold (87L DIFF MAX 1 ASYM and 87L DIFF 2 MAX ASYM). These operands can be latched in Flex-
Logic™ and combined with other factors to decide, upon GPS loss, if the relays continue to compensate using the
memorized correction. Typically, one may decide to keep compensating if the pre-existing asymmetry was low.

• Change in the round trip travel time. This value is measured by the L90 and a user-programmable threshold
applied to it. The corresponding FlexLogic™ operands are produced if the delta change is above the threshold
(87L DIFF 1 TIME CHNG and 87L DIFF 2 TIME CHNG). These operands can be latched in FlexLogic™ and combined
with other factors to decide, upon GPS loss, if the relays continue to compensate using the memorized correction.
Typically, one may decide to disable compensation if the round trip time changes.
• BLOCK GPS TIME REF: This setting signals to the L90 that the time reference is not valid. The time reference may be
not accurate due to problems with the GPS receiver. The user must to be aware of the case when a GPS satellite
receiver loses its satellite signal and reverts to its own calibrated crystal oscillator. In this case, accuracy degrades in
time and may eventually cause relay misoperation. Verification from the manufacturer of receiver accuracy not worse
than 250 μs and the presence of an alarm contact indicating loss of the satellite signal is strongly recommended. If the
time reference accuracy cannot be guaranteed, it should be relayed to the L90 via contact inputs and GPS compensa-
tion effectively blocked using the contact position in conjunction with the BLOCK GPS TIME REF setting. This setting is
typically a signal from the GPS receiver signaling problems or time inaccuracy.
Some GPS receivers can supply erroneous IRIG-B signals during power-up and before locking to satellites. If the
receiver’s failsafe contact opens during power-up (allowing for an erroneous IRIG-B signal), then set a dropout delay
up to 15 minutes (depending on GPS receiver specifications) to the failsafe contact via FlexLogic™ to prevent incor-
rect relay response.
• MAX CHNL ASYMMETRY: This setting detects excessive channel asymmetry. The same threshold is applied to both
the channels, while the following per-channel FlexLogic™ operands are generated: 87L DIFF 1 MAX ASYM and 87L DIFF
2 MAX ASYM. These operands can be used to alarm on problems with communication equipment and/or to decide
whether channel asymmetry compensation remains in operation should the GPS-based time reference be lost. Chan-
nel asymmetry is measured if both terminals of a given channel have valid time reference.
If the memorized asymmetry value is much greater than expected (indicating a significant problem with IRIG-B timing),
then this operand can be also used to block GPS compensation, forcing the relay to use the memorized asymmetry
value. 5
• ROUND TRIP TIME CHANGE: This setting detects changes in round trip time. This threshold is applied to both chan-
nels, while the 87L DIFF 1 TIME CHNG and 87L DIFF 2 TIME CHNG ASYM per-channel FlexLogic™ operands are gener-
ated. These operands can be used to alarm on problems with communication equipment and/or to decide whether
channel asymmetry compensation remains in operation should the GPS-based time reference be lost.

A description of the operation of the breaker control and status monitoring features is provided in Chapter 4. Only informa-
tion concerning programming of the associated settings is covered here. These features are provided for two breakers; a
user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be Breaker 1.
• BREAKER 1(2) FUNCTION: Set to "Enable" to allow the operation of any breaker control feature.
• BREAKER1(2) PUSH BUTTON CONTROL: Set to "Enable" to allow faceplate push button operations.
• BREAKER 1(2) NAME: Assign a user-defined name (up to 6 characters) to the breaker. This name will be used in
flash messages related to Breaker 1.
• BREAKER 1(2) MODE: Selects "3-pole" mode, where all breaker poles are operated simultaneously, or "1-pole" mode
where all breaker poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.
• BREAKER 1(2) OPEN: Selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay to open
Breaker No. 1.
• BREAKER 1(2) CLOSE: Selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay to close
Breaker No. 1.
• BREAKER 1(2) ΦA/3-POLE: Selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a breaker auxiliary position
tracking mechanism. This input can be either a 52/a or 52/b contact, or a combination the 52/a and 52/b contacts, that

must be programmed to create a logic 0 when the breaker is open. If BREAKER 1 MODE is selected as "3-Pole", this set-
ting selects a single input as the operand used to track the breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as
"1-Pole", the input mentioned above is used to track phase A and settings BREAKER 1 ΦB and BREAKER 1 ΦC select
operands to track phases B and C, respectively.
• BREAKER 1(2) FB: If the mode is selected as 3-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as 1-pole,
this input is used to track phase B as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1(2) FC: If the mode is selected as 3-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as 1-pole,
this input is used to track phase C as above for phase A.
• BREAKER 1(2) EXT ALARM: Selects an operand, usually an external contact input, connected to a breaker alarm
reporting contact.
• BREAKER 1(2) ALARM DELAY: Sets the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among the three pole
position tracking operands will not declare a pole disagreement, to allow for non-simultaneous operation of the poles.
• MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1 TIME: Sets the interval required to maintain setting changes in effect after an operator has
initiated a manual close command to operate a circuit breaker.
• BREAKER 1(2) OUT OF SV: Selects an operand indicating that Breaker 1(2) is out-of-service.
• XCBR ST.LOC OPERAND: Selects a FlexLogic™ operand to provide a value for the IEC 61850 XCBR1(2) St.Loc
data item.

The relay using a given FlexCurve™ applies linear approximation for times between the user-entered
points. Special care must be applied when setting the two points that are close to the multiple of pickup of
NOTE
1, i.e. 0.98 pu and 1.03 pu. It is recommended to set the two times to a similar value; otherwise, the linear
approximation may result in undesired behavior for the operating quantity that is close to 1.00 pu.

b) FLEXCURVE™ CONFIGURATION WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

The EnerVista UR Setup software allows for easy configuration and management of FlexCurves™ and their associated
data points. Prospective FlexCurves™ can be configured from a selection of standard curves to provide the best approxi-
mate fit, then specific data points can be edited afterwards. Alternately, curve data can be imported from a specified file
(.csv format) by selecting the Import Data From EnerVista UR Setup setting.
Curves and data can be exported, viewed, and cleared by clicking the appropriate buttons. FlexCurves™ are customized
by editing the operating time (ms) values at pre-defined per-unit current multiples. Note that the pickup multiples start at
zero (implying the "reset time"), operating time below pickup, and operating time above pickup.
c) RECLOSER CURVE EDITING

Recloser Curve selection is special in that recloser curves can be shaped into a composite curve with a minimum response
time and a fixed time above a specified pickup multiples. There are 41 recloser curve types supported. These definite oper-
ating times are useful to coordinate operating times, typically at higher currents and where upstream and downstream pro-
tective devices have different operating characteristics. The Recloser Curve configuration window shown below appears
when the Initialize From EnerVista UR Setup setting is set to “Recloser Curve” and the Initialize FlexCurve button is clicked.
Multiplier: Scales (multiplies) the curve operating times
Addr: Adds the time specified in this field (in ms) to each
curve operating time value.
Minimum Response Time (MRT): If enabled, the MRT setting

defines the shortest operating time even if the curve suggests
a shorter time at higher current multiples. A composite operating
characteristic is effectively defined. For current multiples lower
than the intersection point, the curve dictates the operating time;
5
otherwise, the MRT does. An information message appears
when attempting to apply an MRT shorter than the minimum
curve time.
High Current Time: Allows the user to set a pickup multiple

from which point onwards the operating time is fixed. This is
normally only required at higher current levels. The HCT Ratio
defines the high current pickup multiple; the HCT defines the
operating time.
842721A1.CDR
Figure 5–12: RECLOSER CURVE INITIALIZATION

Multiplier and Adder settings only affect the curve portion of the characteristic and not the MRT and HCT settings.
The HCT settings override the MRT settings for multiples of pickup greater than the HCT Ratio.
NOTE

d) EXAMPLE
A composite curve can be created from the GE_111 standard with MRT = 200 ms and HCT initially disabled and then
enabled at 8 times pickup with an operating time of 30 ms. At approximately 4 times pickup, the curve operating time is
equal to the MRT and from then onwards the operating time remains at 200 ms (see below).
842719A1.CDR
Figure 5–13: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT DISABLED

With the HCT feature enabled, the operating time reduces to 30 ms for pickup multiples exceeding 8 times pickup.
842720A1.CDR
Figure 5–14: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT ENABLED

Configuring a composite curve with an increase in operating time at increased pickup multiples is not allowed. If this
is attempted, the EnerVista UR Setup software generates an error message and discards the proposed changes.

5 SETTINGS 5.4 FLEXLOGIC™
5.4FLEXLOGIC™ 5.4.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLEXLOGIC™
To provide maximum flexibility to the user, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals through
elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic
through FlexLogic™. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs which it uses to produce analog and digital
outputs. The major sub-systems of a generic UR-series relay involved in this process are shown below.
Figure 5–23: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

The states of all digital signals used in the L90 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic™ operands, which are described
later in this section). A digital “1” is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an
element from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic™ equation, or to operate a contact output. The state
of the contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple
scheme where a contact input is used to block an element is desired, this selection is made when programming the ele-
ment. This capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and
human operators.
If more complex logic than presented above is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic™. For example, if it is desired to
have the closed state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of
the phase time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic™ equation. This equation
ANDs the two control inputs to produce a ‘virtual output’ which is then selected when programming the phase time overcur-
rent to be used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic™ equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic™ minimizes the requirement for
auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.

5.4 FLEXLOGIC™ 5 SETTINGS
The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is available
internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic™).
FlexLogic™ allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands to be assigned as
inputs to specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual out-
put. Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic™ equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of parame-
ters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=OFF, i.e.
flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types of oper-
ands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of the different
types of operands are listed in the table below.

5.4.2 FLEXLOGIC™ RULES
When forming a FlexLogic™ equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
1. Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
2. Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a virtual output if it is to be used as
an input to two or more operators.
3. Assigning the output of an operator to a Virtual Output terminates the equation.
4. A timer operator (e.g. "TIMER 1") or virtual output assignment (e.g. " = Virt Op 1") may only be used once. If this rule is
broken, a syntax error will be declared.
5.4.3 FLEXLOGIC™ EVALUATION
Each equation is evaluated in the order in which the parameters have been entered.
FlexLogic™ provides latches which by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the
set input has been asserted. However, they are volatile; i.e. they reset on the re-application of control
CAUTION
power.
When making changes to settings, all FlexLogic™ equations are re-compiled whenever any new setting
value is entered, so all latches are automatically reset. If it is necessary to re-initialize FlexLogic™ during
testing, for example, it is suggested to power the unit down and then back up.

5.4.4 FLEXLOGIC™ EXAMPLE
This section provides an example of implementing logic for a typical application. The sequence of the steps is quite impor-
tant as it should minimize the work necessary to develop the relay settings. Note that the example presented in the figure
below is intended to demonstrate the procedure, not to solve a specific application situation.
In the example below, it is assumed that logic has already been programmed to produce Virtual Outputs 1 and 2, and is
only a part of the full set of equations used. When using FlexLogic™, it is important to make a note of each Virtual Output
used – a Virtual Output designation (1 to 96) can only be properly assigned once.

Figure 5–24: EXAMPLE LOGIC SCHEME

1. Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic™ opera-
tors. If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once this is done, count the inputs
5
to each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic™ limits, which is unlikely but possible. If
the number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect Inputs 1 through 16 to AND(16), 17 through 25 to AND(9), and the outputs
from these two gates to AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the operator
is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a Virtual Output.
For the example shown above, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must
therefore be made a Virtual Output and assigned the next available number (i.e. Virtual Output 3). The final output
must also be assigned to a Virtual Output as Virtual Output 4, which will be programmed in the contact output section
to operate relay H1 (i.e. Output Contact H1).
Therefore, the required logic can be implemented with two FlexLogic™ equations with outputs of Virtual Output 3 and
Virtual Output 4 as shown below.

Virtual Output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that will be used as an operand first, so that when these
operands are required they will already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific Virtual Output). The logic for

4. Program the FlexLogic™ equation for Virtual Output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic™ parameters.
The equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the
output end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended to
list operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final output will be arbitrarily identified as parameter 99,
and each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic™, it is suggested that
a worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared, as shown below.

827029A1.VSD
Figure 5–28: FLEXLOGIC™ WORKSHEET

5. Following the procedure outlined, start with parameter 99, as follows:
99: The final output of the equation is Virtual Output 3, which is created by the operator "= Virt Op n". This parameter
is therefore "= Virt Op 3."

98: The gate preceding the output is an AND, which in this case requires two inputs. The operator for this gate is a 2-
input AND so the parameter is “AND(2)”. Note that FlexLogic™ rules require that the number of inputs to most
types of operators must be specified to identify the operands for the gate. As the 2-input AND will operate on the
two operands preceding it, these inputs must be specified, starting with the lower.
97: This lower input to the AND gate must be passed through an inverter (the NOT operator) so the next parameter is
“NOT”. The NOT operator acts upon the operand immediately preceding it, so specify the inverter input next.
96: The input to the NOT gate is to be contact input H1c. The ON state of a contact input can be programmed to be
set when the contact is either open or closed. Assume for this example the state is to be ON for a closed contact.
The operand is therefore “Cont Ip H1c On”.
95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital element 2.
This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order can now form the equation for VIRTUAL OUTPUT 3:
[95] DIG ELEM 2 OP
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] NOT
[98] AND(2)
[99] = Virt Op 3
It is now possible to check that this selection of parameters will produce the required logic by converting the set of parame-
ters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown below, which is compared to the Logic for Virtual Output 3 dia-
gram as a check.

6. Repeating the process described for VIRTUAL OUTPUT 3, select the FlexLogic™ parameters for Virtual Output 4.
99: The final output of the equation is VIRTUAL OUTPUT 4 which is parameter “= Virt Op 4".
98: The operator preceding the output is Timer 2, which is operand “TIMER 2". Note that the settings required for the
timer are established in the timer programming section.
97: The operator preceding Timer 2 is OR #2, a 3-input OR, which is parameter “OR(3)”.
96: The lowest input to OR #2 is operand “Cont Ip H1c On”.
95: The center input to OR #2 is operand “TIMER 1".
94: The input to Timer 1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
93: The upper input to OR #2 is operand “LATCH (S,R)”.
92: There are two inputs to a latch, and the input immediately preceding the latch reset is OR #1, a 4-input OR, which
is parameter “OR(4)”.
91: The lowest input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
90: The input just above the lowest input to OR #1 is operand “XOR(2)”.
89: The lower input to the XOR is operand “DIG ELEM 1 PKP”.
88: The upper input to the XOR is operand “Virt Ip 1 On".
87: The input just below the upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 2 On".
86: The upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 1 On".
85: The last parameter is used to set the latch, and is operand “Virt Op 4 On".

The equation for VIRTUAL OUTPUT 4 is:

[85] Virt Op 4 On
[86] Virt Op 1 On
[87] Virt Op 2 On
[88] Virt Ip 1 On
[89] DIG ELEM 1 PKP

ters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown below, which is compared to the Logic for Virtual Output 4 dia-
gram as a check.

7. Now write the complete FlexLogic™ expression required to implement the logic, making an effort to assemble the
equation in an order where Virtual Outputs that will be used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In cases
where a lot of processing is required to perform logic, this may be difficult to achieve, but in most cases will not cause
problems as all logic is calculated at least 4 times per power frequency cycle. The possibility of a problem caused by
sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of FlexLogic™ before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, Virtual Output 3 is used as an input to both Latch 1 and Timer 1 as arranged in the order
shown below:
DIG ELEM 2 OP
Cont Ip H1c On
NOT
AND(2)

= Virt Op 3
Virt Op 4 On
Virt Op 1 On
Virt Op 2 On
Virt Ip 1 On

Virt Op 3 On
OR(4)
LATCH (S,R)
Virt Op 3 On
TIMER 1
Cont Ip H1c On
OR(3)
TIMER 2
= Virt Op 4
END
In the expression above, the Virtual Output 4 input to the 4-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a
form of feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8. The logic should always be tested after it is loaded into the relay, in the same fashion as has been used in the past.
Testing can be simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic™ equations. The equations
will then only be evaluated up to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.

A FlexElement™ is a universal comparator that can be used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a
net difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal could be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value could be used as per user's choice.
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold as
per user's choice.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement™. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to “Off”. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands.
5
This FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN setting specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement™. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to “Off”. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands. This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the
element respond to a differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element will not
operate if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build
the effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to “Signed”. The ele-
ment responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to “Absolute”. Sample applications for the
“Absolute” setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in both
directions; monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend regardless of whether the signal increases of
decreases.
The element responds directly to its operating signal – as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN and FLEX-
ELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings – if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Level”. The element responds to the
rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Delta”. In this case the FLEXELE-
MENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION setting enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The

The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element. If set
to “Over”, the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to “Under”, the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting controls the element dropout. It should be noticed that both the operating signal
and the pickup threshold can be negative facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexEle-
ment™ can be programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP set-
ting is entered in per-unit values using the following definitions of the base units:

The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting defines the pickup–dropout relation of the element by specifying the width of the
hysteresis loop as a percentage of the pickup value as shown in the FlexElement™ Direction, Pickup, and Hysteresis dia-
gram.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 DT UNIT setting specifies the time unit for the setting FLEXELEMENT 1 dt. This setting is applicable only if
FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE is set to “Delta”. The FLEXELEMENT 1 DT setting specifies duration of the time interval for the
rate of change mode of operation. This setting is applicable only if FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE is set to “Delta”.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 PKP DELAY setting specifies the pickup delay of the element. The FLEXELEMENT 1 RST DELAY setting
specifies the reset delay of the element.

The non-volatile latches provide a permanent logical flag that is stored safely and will not reset upon reboot after the relay
is powered down. Typical applications include sustaining operator commands or permanently block relay functions, such as
Autorecloser, until a deliberate HMI action resets the latch. The settings, logic, and element operation are described below:
• LATCH 1 TYPE: This setting characterizes Latch 1 to be Set- or Reset-dominant.
• LATCH 1 SET: If asserted, the specified FlexLogic™ operands 'sets' Latch 1.
5 • LATCH 1 RESET: If asserted, the specified FlexLogic™ operand 'resets' Latch 1.

5.5GROUPED ELEMENTS 5.5.1 OVERVIEW
Each protection element can be assigned up to six different sets of settings according to Setting Group designations 1 to 6.
The performance of these elements is defined by the active Setting Group at a given time. Multiple setting groups allow the
user to conveniently change protection settings for different operating situations (e.g. altered power system configuration,
season of the year). The active setting group can be preset or selected via the SETTING GROUPS menu (see the Control Ele-
ments section later in this chapter). See also the Introduction to Elements section at the beginning of this chapter.

• CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 1: Selects the first source for the current differential element local operating cur-
rent. If more than one source is configured, other source currents are internally matched to the source assigned with
this setting, which is the always the reference source for the current differential element. This source is mandatory and
is assigned with the SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES SOURCE 1 menu.
• CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 2: Selects the second source for current differential function for applications
where more than one set of CT circuitry is connected directly to L90.
• CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 3: Selects the third source for the current differential function for applications
where more than two sets of CT circuitry are connected directly to L90.
• CURRENT DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 4: Selects the fourth source for the current differential function for applications
where four sets of CT circuitry are connected directly to L90.
• CURRENT DIFF BLOCK: Selects a FlexLogic™ operand to block the operation of the current differential element.

• CURRENT DIFF PICKUP: This setting is used to select current differential pickup value.
• CURRENT DIFF CT TAP 1(2): This setting adapts the remote terminal 1 or 2 (communication channel) CT ratio to the
local ratio if the CT ratios for the local and remote terminals are different. The setting value is determined by
CTprim_rem / CTprim_loc for local and remote terminal CTs (where CTprim_rem / CTprim_loc is referred to as the CT primary
rated current). Ratio matching must always be performed against remote CTs and is configured under the CURRENT
DIFF SIGNAL SOURCE 1 source. See the Current Differential Settings application example in Chapter 9 for details.
• CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 1(2): Selects the bias characteristic for the first (second) slope.
• CURRENT DIFF BREAK PT: This setting is used to select an intersection point between the two slopes.
• CURRENT DIFF DTT: Enables/disables the sending of a DTT by the current differential element on per single-phase
basis to remote relays. To allow the L90 to restart from Master-Master to Master-Slave mode (very important on three-
terminal applications), CURR DIFF DTT must be set to "Enabled".
• CURRENT DIFF KEY DTT: This setting selects an additional protection element (besides the current differential ele-
ment; for example, distance element or breaker failure) which keys the DTT on a per three-phase basis.
For the current differential element to function properly, it is imperative that all L90 relays on the protected
line have the same firmware revisions.

The Stub Bus element protects for faults between two breakers in a breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configuration when the
line disconnect switch is open. At the same time, if the line is still energized through the remote terminal(s), differential pro-
tection is still required (the line may still need to be energized because there is a tapped load on a two terminal line or
because the line is a three terminal line with two of the terminals still connected). Correct operation for this condition is
achieved by the local relay sending zero current values to the remote end(s) so that a local bus fault does not result in trip-
ping the line. At the local end, the differential element is disabled and stub bus protection is provided by a user-selected
overcurrent element. If there is a line fault, the remote end(s) will trip on differential but local differential function and DTT
signal (if enabled) to the local end, will be blocked by the stub bus logic allowing the local breakers to remain closed.
• STUB BUS FUNCTION: There are three requirements for Stub Bus operation: the element must be enabled, an indi-
5 cation that the line disconnect is open, and the STUB BUS TRIGGER setting is set as indicated below. There are two
methods of setting the stub bus trigger and thus setting up Stub Bus operation:
1. If STUB BUS TRIGGER is “On”, the STUB BUS OPERATE operand picks up as soon as the disconnect switch opens,
causing zero currents to be transmitted to remote end(s) and DTT receipt from remote end(s) to be permanently
blocked. An overcurrent element, blocked by disconnect switch closed, provides protection for the local bus.
2. An alternate method is to set STUB BUS TRIGGER to be the pickup of an assigned instantaneous overcurrent ele-
ment. The instantaneous overcurrent element must operate quickly enough to pick up the STUB BUS OPERATE
operand, disable the local differential, and send zero currents to the other terminal(s). If the bus minimum fault cur-
rent is above 5 times the instantaneous overcurrent pickup, tests have confirmed that the STUB BUS OPERATE
operand always pick up correctly for a stub bus fault and prevents tripping of the remote terminal. If minimum stub
bus fault current is below this value, then Method 1 should be used. Note also that correct testing of stub bus oper-
ation, when this method is used, requires sudden injection of a fault currents above 5 times instantaneous over-
current pickup. The assigned current element should be mapped to appropriate output contact(s) to trip the stub
bus breakers. It should be blocked unless disconnect is open. To prevent 87L tripping from remote L90 relays still
protecting the line, the auxiliary contact of line disconnect switch (logic “1” when line switch is open) should be
assigned to block the local 87L function by using the CURRENT DIFF BLOCK setting.
• STUB BUS DISCONNECT: Selects a FlexLogic™ operand to represent the open state of auxiliary contact of line dis-
connect switch (logic “1” when line disconnect switch is open). If necessary, simple logic representing not only line dis-
connect switch but also the closed state of the breakers can be created with FlexLogic™ and assigned to this setting.
• STUB BUS TRIGGER: Selects a FlexLogic™ operand that causes the STUB BUS OPERATE operand to pick up if the
line disconnect is open. It can be set either to “On” or to an instantaneous overcurrent element (see above). If the
instantaneous overcurrent used for the stub bus protection is set with a time delay, then STUB BUS TRIGGER should use

the associated instantaneous overcurrent pickup operand. The source assigned for the current of this element must
cover the stub between CTs of the associated breakers and disconnect switch.

The Line Pickup feature uses a combination of undercurrent and undervoltage to identify a line that has been de-energized
(line end open). Alternately, the user may assign a FlexLogic™ operand to the TERMINAL OPEN setting that specifies the ter-
minal status. Three instantaneous overcurrent elements are used to identify a previously de-energized line that has been
closed onto a fault. Faults other than close-in faults can be identified satisfactorily with the Distance elements.
Co-ordination features are included to ensure satisfactory operation when high speed ‘automatic reclosure (AR)’ is
employed. The AR CO-ORD DELAY setting allows the overcurrent setting to be below the expected load current seen after
reclose. Co-ordination is achieved by all of the LINE PICKP UV elements resetting and blocking the trip path before the AR
CO-ORD DELAY times out. The AR CO-ORD BYPASS setting is normally enabled. It is disabled if high speed autoreclosure is
implemented.
The line pickup protection incorporates Zone 1 extension capability. When the line is being re-energized from the local ter-
minal, pickup of an overreaching Zone 2 or excessive phase current within eight power cycles after the autorecloser issues
a close command results in the LINE PICKUP RCL TRIP FlexLogic™ operand. For security, the overcurrent trip is supervised

by an undervoltage condition, which in turn is controlled by the VT FUSE FAIL OP operand with a 10 ms coordination timer. If
a trip from distance in not required, then it can be disabled with the LINE PICKUP DISTANCE TRIP setting. Configure the LINE
PICKUP RCL TRIP operand to perform a trip action if the intent is apply Zone 1 extension.
The Zone 1 extension philosophy used here normally operates from an under-reaching zone, and uses an overreaching
distance zone when reclosing the line with the other line end open. The AR ACCELERATE setting is provided to achieve
Zone 1 extension functionality if external autoreclosure is employed. Another Zone 1 extension approach is to permanently
apply an overreaching zone, and reduce the reach when reclosing. This philosophy can be programmed via the Autore-
close scheme.

Three common settings (DISTANCE SOURCE, MEMORY DURATION, and FORCE SELF-POLAR) and six menus for three zone of
phase and ground distance protection are available. The DISTANCE SOURCE identifies the Signal Source for all distance
functions. The Mho distance functions use a dynamic characteristic: the positive-sequence voltage – either memorized or
actual – is used as a polarizing signal. The memory voltage is also used by the built-in directional supervising functions
applied for both the Mho and Quad characteristics.
The MEMORY DURATION setting specifies the length of time a memorized positive-sequence voltage should be used in the
distance calculations. After this interval expires, the relay checks the magnitude of the actual positive-sequence voltage. If
it is higher than 10% of the nominal, the actual voltage is used, if lower – the memory voltage continues to be used.
The memory is established when the positive-sequence voltage stays above 80% of its nominal value for five power system
cycles. For this reason it is important to ensure that the nominal secondary voltage of the VT is entered correctly under the
SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK menu.
Set MEMORY DURATION long enough to ensure stability on close-in reverse three-phase faults. For this purpose, the maxi-
mum fault clearing time (breaker fail time) in the substation should be considered. On the other hand, the MEMORY DURA-
TION cannot be too long as the power system may experience power swing conditions rotating the voltage and current
phasors slowly while the memory voltage is static, as frozen at the beginning of the fault. Keeping the memory in effect for
too long may eventually lead to incorrect operation of the distance functions.
The distance zones can be forced to become self-polarized through the FORCE SELF-POLAR setting. Any user-selected con-
dition (FlexLogic™ operand) can be configured to force self-polarization. When the selected operand is asserted (logic 1),
the distance functions become self-polarized regardless of other memory voltage logic conditions. When the selected oper-
and is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory voltage logic as shown below.
The distance zones can be forced to become memory-polarized through the FORCE MEM-POLAR setting. Any user-selected
condition (FlexLogic™ operand) can be configured to force memory polarization. When the selected operand is asserted
(logic 1), the distance functions become memory-polarized regardless of the positive-sequence voltage magnitude. When
the selected operand is de-asserted (logic 0), the distance functions follow other conditions of the memory voltage logic.

The FORCE SELF-POLAR and FORCE MEM-POLAR settings should never be asserted simultaneously. If this happens, the logic
will give higher priority to forcing self-polarization as indicated in the logic below. This is consistent with the overall philoso-
phy of distance memory polarization: the memory polarization cannot be applied permanently but for a limited time only; the
self-polarization may be applied permanently and therefore should take higher priority.
The distance zones of the L90 is are identical to that of the UR-series D60 Line Distance Relay. For additional infor-
mation on the L90 distance functions, please refer to Chapter 8 of the D60 manual, available on the EnerVista CD

The phase mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, and overcurrent supervising characteristics. The phase quadrilateral distance function is comprised of a reac-
tance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional and current supervising characteristics.
When set to “Non-directional”, the mho function becomes an offset mho with the reverse reach controlled independently
from the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics removed. When set to “Non-directional”, the quadrilateral
function applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators.
Three zones of phase distance protection are provided. Each zone is configured individually through its own setting menu.
All of the settings can be independently modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for the phase distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS
GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE).
2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for the phase distance elements of all zones as entered under SETTINGS
GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE).
The common distance settings described earlier must be properly chosen for correct operation of the phase distance ele-
ments. Although all three zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] Flex-
Logic™ operands) or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic™ operands), only Zone 1 is intended for the
instantaneous under-reaching tripping mode. Additional details may be found in Chapter 8: Theory of Operation.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE setting (see the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS
VOLTAGE BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.
WARNING
• PHS DIST Z1 DIR: All three zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the PHS DIST Z1 RCA setting,
whereas the reverse direction is shifted 180° from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the forward
reach impedance defined by the PHS DIST Z1 REACH and PHS DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach impedance
defined by PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH and PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA as illustrated below.
• PHS DIST Z1 SHAPE: This setting selects the shape of the phase distance function between the mho and quadrilat-
eral characteristics. The selection is available on a per-zone basis. The two characteristics and their possible varia-
tions are shown in the following figures.

• PHS DIST Z1 XFMR VOL CONNECTION: The phase distance elements can be applied to look through a three-phase
delta-wye or wye-delta power transformer. In addition, VTs and CTs could be located independently from one another
at different windings of the transformer. If the potential source is located at the correct side of the transformer, this set-
ting shall be set to “None”.
This setting specifies the location of the voltage source with respect to the involved power transformer in the direction
of the zone. The following figure illustrates the usage of this setting. In section (a), Zone 1 is looking through a trans-
former from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to “Dy11”. In section (b), Zone 3 is
looking through a transformer from the wye into the delta winding. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to “Yd1”. The
zone is restricted by the potential point (location of the VTs) as illustrated in Figure (e).
• PHS DIST Z1 XFMR CUR CONNECTION: This setting specifies the location of the current source with respect to the
involved power transformer in the direction of the zone. In section (a) of the following figure, Zone 1 is looking through
a transformer from the delta into the wye winding. Therefore, the Z1 setting shall be set to “Dy11”. In section (b), the
CTs are located at the same side as the read point. Therefore, the Z3 setting shall be set to “None”.
See Chapter 8: Theory of Operation for more details, and Chapter 9: Application of Settings for information on how to
calculate distance reach settings in applications involving power transformers.

Figure 5–45: APPLICATIONS OF THE PH DIST XFMR VOL/CUR CONNECTION SETTINGS

• PHS DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the zone reach for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-direc-
tional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-directional
applications is set independently. The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms. The reach impedance angle is
entered as the PHS DIST Z1 RCA setting.
• PHS DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the ‘maximum torque angle’ in previous
technologies) of the phase distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional appli-
cations, this setting defines the angle of the forward reach impedance. The reverse reach impedance in the non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The setting is an angle of reach impedance as shown in Mho and Quadrilateral
Distance Characteristic figures. This setting is independent from PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA, the characteristic angle of an
extra directional supervising function.
• PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
“Forward” or “Reverse”.
• PHS DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (PHS DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to “Forward” or
“Reverse”.
• PHS DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it produces the lens-type
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the reactance boundary of the quadrilateral func-
tion. If the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to both the mho and supervising reactance compara-
tors. In conjunction with the mho shape selection, the setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction
with the quadrilateral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the
reactance boundary into a tent-shape.
• PHS DIST Z1 DIR RCA: This setting selects the characteristic angle (or ‘maximum torque angle’) of the directional
supervising function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function as the
dynamic mho characteristic is itself directional. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape, this setting defines the only

directional function built into the phase distance element. The directional function uses the memory voltage for polar-
ization. This setting typically equals the distance characteristic angle PHS DIST Z1 RCA.
• PHS DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: Selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figures). The angular position
of the blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the
quadrilateral characteristic and should be set giving consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figures).
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figure). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
• PHS DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figures).
• PHS DIST Z1 SUPV: The phase distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the line-to-line current (fault
loop current used for the distance calculations). For convenience, 3 is accommodated by the pickup (i.e., before
being used, the entered value of the threshold setting is multiplied by 3 ).
If the minimum fault current level is sufficient, the current supervision pickup should be set above maximum full load
current preventing maloperation under VT fuse fail conditions. This requirement may be difficult to meet for remote
faults at the end of Zones 2 through 3. If this is the case, the current supervision pickup would be set below the full load
•
current, but this may result in maloperation during fuse fail conditions.
PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
5
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point where the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the phase VT bank configured
under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In non-direc-
tional applications (PHS DIST Z1 DIR set to “Non-directional”), this setting applies only to the forward reach of the non-
directional zone. See Chapters 8 and 9 for information on calculating this setting for series compensated lines.
• PHS DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting allows the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement stepped
distance protection. The distance element timers for Zones 2 through 3 apply a short dropout delay to cope with faults
located close to the zone boundary when small oscillations in the voltages and/or currents could inadvertently reset the
timer. Zone 1 does not need any drop out delay since it is sealed-in by the presence of current.
• PHS DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic™ operand to block a given distance element.
VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

The ground mho distance function uses a dynamic 100% memory-polarized mho characteristic with additional reactance,
directional, current, and phase selection supervising characteristics. The ground quadrilateral distance function is com-
posed of a reactance characteristic, right and left blinders, and 100% memory-polarized directional, overcurrent, and phase
selection supervising characteristics.
When set to non-directional, the mho function becomes an offset mho with the reverse reach controlled independently from
the forward reach, and all the directional characteristics removed. When set to non-directional, the quadrilateral function
applies a reactance line in the reverse direction instead of the directional comparators.
The reactance supervision for the mho function uses the zero-sequence current for polarization. The reactance line of the
quadrilateral function uses either zero-sequence or negative-sequence current as a polarizing quantity. The selection is
controlled by a user setting and depends on the degree of non-homogeneity of the zero-sequence and negative-sequence
equivalent networks.
The directional supervision uses memory voltage as polarizing quantity and both zero- and negative-sequence currents as 5
operating quantities.
The phase selection supervision restrains the ground elements during double-line-to-ground faults as they – by principles
of distance relaying – may be inaccurate in such conditions. Ground distance Zones 1 through 3 apply additional zero-
sequence directional supervision. See Chapter 8 for additional details.
Three zones of ground distance protection are provided. Each zone is configured individually through its own setting menu.
All of the settings can be independently modified for each of the zones except:
1. The SIGNAL SOURCE setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all three zones as entered under the
SETTINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE menu).
2. The MEMORY DURATION setting (common for both phase and ground elements for all three zones as entered under the
SETTINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) DISTANCE menu).
The common distance settings noted at the start of the Distance section must be properly chosen for correct operation of
the ground distance elements.
Although all three zones can be used as either instantaneous elements (pickup [PKP] and dropout [DPO] FlexLogic™ sig-
nals) or time-delayed elements (operate [OP] FlexLogic™ signals), only Zone 1 is intended for the instantaneous under-
reaching tripping mode.
Ensure that the PHASE VT SECONDARY VOLTAGE (see the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE
BANK menu) is set correctly to prevent improper operation of associated memory action.
WARNING
• GND DIST Z1 DIR: All three zones are reversible. The forward direction is defined by the GND DIST Z1 RCA setting and
the reverse direction is shifted by 180° from that angle. The non-directional zone spans between the forward reach
impedance defined by the GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA settings, and the reverse reach impedance defined
by the GND DIST Z1 REV REACH and GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA settings.
• GND DIST Z1 SHAPE: This setting selects the shape of the ground distance characteristic between the mho and
quadrilateral characteristics. The selection is available on a per-zone basis.
The directional and non-directional quadrilateral ground distance characteristics are shown below. The directional and
non-directional mho ground distance characteristics are the same as those shown for the phase distance element in
the previous sub-section.

• GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 MAG: This setting specifies the ratio between the zero-sequence and positive-sequence imped-
ance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise settings for tapped, non-homogeneous, and series compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the zero-sequence and positive-
sequence impedance required for zero-sequence compensation of the ground distance elements. The entered value is
the zero-sequence impedance angle minus the positive-sequence impedance angle. This setting is available on a per-
zone basis, enabling precise values for tapped, non-homologous, and series-compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 MAG: The ground distance elements can be programmed to apply compensation for the zero-
sequence mutual coupling between parallel lines. If this compensation is required, the ground current from the parallel
line (3I_0) measured in the direction of the zone being compensated must be connected to the ground input CT of the
CT bank configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. This setting specifies the ratio between the magnitudes of the mutual
zero-sequence impedance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line. It is impera-
tive to set this setting to zero if the compensation is not to be performed.

• GND DIST Z1 ZOM/Z1 ANG: This setting specifies the angle difference between the mutual zero-sequence imped-
ance between the lines and the positive-sequence impedance of the protected line.
• GND DIST Z1 REACH: This setting defines the reach of the zone for the forward and reverse applications. In non-
directional applications, this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in non-direc-
tional applications is set independently. The angle of the reach impedance is entered as the GND DIST Z1 RCA setting.
The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms.
• GND DIST Z1 RCA: This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the ‘maximum torque angle’ in previous
technologies) of the ground distance characteristic for the forward and reverse applications. In the non-directional
applications this setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The reverse reach impedance in the non-directional
applications is set independently. This setting is independent from the GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA setting (the characteristic
angle of an extra directional supervising function).
The relay internally performs zero-sequence compensation for the protected circuit based on the values
entered for GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 MAG and GND DIST Z1 Z0/Z1 ANG, and if configured to do so, zero-sequence com-
NOTE
pensation for mutual coupling based on the values entered for GND DIST Z1 Z0M/Z1 MAG and GND DIST Z1 Z0M/Z1
ANG (see Chapter 8 for details). The GND DIST Z1 REACH and GND DIST Z1 RCA should, therefore, be entered in
terms of positive sequence quantities.
• GND DIST Z1 REV REACH: This setting defines the reverse reach of the zone set to non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR
setting). The value must be entered in secondary ohms. This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to
“Forward” or “Reverse”.
• GND DIST Z1 REV REACH RCA: This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance if the zone is set to
non-directional (GND DIST Z1 DIR setting). This setting does not apply when the zone direction is set to “Forward” or
“Reverse”.
• GND DIST Z1 POL CURRENT: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to “Quad” and controls the
polarizing current used by the reactance comparator of the quadrilateral characteristic. Either the zero-sequence or 5
negative-sequence current could be used. Refer to Chapters 8 and 9 for additional information. In general, a variety of
system conditions must be examined to select an optimum polarizing current. This setting becomes less relevant when
the resistive coverage and zone reach are set conservatively. Also, this setting is more relevant in lower voltage appli-
cations such as on distribution lines or cables, as compared with high-voltage transmission lines. This setting applies
to both the Z1 and reverse reactance lines if the zone is set to non-directional.
• GND DIST Z1 NON-HOMOGEN ANG: This setting applies only if the GND DIST Z1 SHAPE is set to “Quad” and provides
a method to correct the angle of the polarizing current of the reactance comparator for non-homogeneity of the zero-
sequence or negative-sequence networks. Refer to Chapters 8 and 9 for additional information. In general, a variety of
system conditions must be examined to select this setting. In many applications this angle is used to reduce the reach
at high resistances in order to avoid overreaching under far-out reach settings and/or when the sequence networks are
greatly non-homogeneous. This setting applies to both the forward and reverse reactance lines if the zone is set to
non-directional.
• GND DIST Z1 COMP LIMIT: This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it enables a lens-shaped
characteristic of the mho function and a tent-shaped characteristic of the quadrilateral function reactance boundary. If
the mho shape is selected, the same limit angle applies to mho and supervising reactance comparators. In conjunction
with the mho shape selection, this setting improves loadability of the protected line. In conjunction with the quadrilat-
eral characteristic, this setting improves security for faults close to the reach point by adjusting the reactance boundary
into a tent-shape.
• GND DIST Z1 DIR RCA: Selects the characteristic angle (or ‘maximum torque angle’) of the directional supervising
function. If the mho shape is applied, the directional function is an extra supervising function, as the dynamic mho
characteristic itself is a directional one. In conjunction with the quadrilateral shape selection, this setting defines the
only directional function built into the ground distance element. The directional function uses memory voltage for polar-
ization.
• GND DIST Z1 DIR COMP LIMIT: This setting selects the comparator limit angle for the directional supervising function.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD: This setting defines the right blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along
the resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figure). The angular position of
the blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the
quadrilateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current and required resistive
coverage.

• GND DIST Z1 QUAD RGT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the right blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figure).
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD: This setting defines the left blinder position of the quadrilateral characteristic along the
resistive axis of the impedance plane (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figure). The angular position of the
blinder is adjustable with the use of the GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA setting. This setting applies only to the quadri-
lateral characteristic and should be set with consideration to the maximum load current.
• GND DIST Z1 QUAD LFT BLD RCA: This setting defines the angular position of the left blinder of the quadrilateral
characteristic (see the Quadrilateral Distance Characteristic figure).
• GND DIST Z1 SUPV: The ground distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the neutral (3I_0) current.
The current supervision pickup should be set above the maximum unbalance current under maximum load conditions
preventing maloperation due to VT fuse failure.
• GND DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL: This setting is relevant for applications on series-compensated lines, or in general, if
series capacitors are located between the relaying point and a point for which the zone shall not overreach. For plain
(non-compensated) lines, this setting shall be set to zero. Otherwise, the setting is entered in per unit of the VT bank
configured under the DISTANCE SOURCE. Effectively, this setting facilitates dynamic current-based reach reduction. In
non-directional applications (GND DIST Z1 DIR set to “Non-directional”), this setting applies only to the forward reach of
the non-directional zone. See Chapter 8 and 9 for additional details and information on calculating this setting value for
applications on series compensated lines.
• GND DIST Z1 DELAY: This setting enables the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement a
stepped distance backup protection. The distance element timer applies a short drop out delay to cope with faults
located close to the boundary of the zone when small oscillations in the voltages and/or currents could inadvertently
reset the timer.
• GND DIST Z1 BLK: This setting enables the user to select a FlexLogic™ operand to block the given distance element.
5 VT fuse fail detection is one of the applications for this setting.

GROUND DIRECTIONAL SUPERVISION:
A dual (zero- and negative-sequence) memory-polarized directional supervision applied to the ground distance protection
elements has been shown to give good directional integrity. However, a reverse double-line-to-ground fault can lead to a
maloperation of the ground element in a sound phase if the zone reach setting is increased to cover high resistance faults.
Ground distance Zones 2 through 3 use an additional ground directional supervision to enhance directional integrity. The
5
element’s directional characteristic angle is used as a ‘maximum torque angle’ together with a 90° limit angle.
The supervision is biased toward operation in order to avoid compromising the sensitivity of ground distance elements at
low signal levels. Otherwise, the reverse fault condition that generates concern will have high polarizing levels so that a cor-
rect reverse fault decision can be reliably made.

The Power Swing Detect element provides both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The element mea-
sures the positive-sequence apparent impedance and traces its locus with respect to either two or three user-selectable
operating characteristic boundaries. Upon detecting appropriate timing relations, the blocking and/or tripping indication is
given through FlexLogic™ operands. The element incorporates an adaptive disturbance detector. This function does not
trigger on power swings, but is capable of detecting faster disturbances – faults in particular – that may occur during power
swings. Operation of this dedicated disturbance detector is signaled via the POWER SWING 50DD operand.
The Power Swing Detect element asserts two outputs intended for blocking selected protection elements on power swings:
POWER SWING BLOCK is a traditional signal that is safely asserted for the entire duration of the power swing, and POWER
SWING UN/BLOCK is established in the same way, but resets when an extra disturbance is detected during the power swing.
The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand may be used for blocking selected protection elements if the intent is to respond to
faults during power swing conditions.
Different protection elements respond differently to power swings. If tripping is required for faults during power swing condi-
tions, some elements may be blocked permanently (using the POWER SWING BLOCK operand), and others may be blocked
and dynamically unblocked upon fault detection (using the POWER SWING UN/BLOCK operand).
The operating characteristic and logic figures should be viewed along with the following discussion to develop an under-
standing of the operation of the element.
The Power Swing Detect element operates in three-step or two-step mode:
• Three-step operation: The power swing blocking sequence essentially times the passage of the locus of the positive-
sequence impedance between the outer and the middle characteristic boundaries. If the locus enters the outer charac-
teristic (indicated by the POWER SWING OUTER FlexLogic™ operand) but stays outside the middle characteristic (indi-
cated by the POWER SWING MIDDLE FlexLogic™ operand) for an interval longer than POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1, the
power swing blocking signal (POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic™ operand) is established and sealed-in. The blocking
signal resets when the locus leaves the outer characteristic, but not sooner than the POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 time.
• Two-step operation: If the 2-step mode is selected, the sequence is identical, but it is the outer and inner characteris-
tics that are used to time the power swing locus.
The Out-of-Step Tripping feature operates as follows for three-step and two-step Power Swing Detection modes:

• Three-step operation: The out-of-step trip sequence identifies unstable power swings by determining if the imped-
ance locus spends a finite time between the outer and middle characteristics and then a finite time between the middle
and inner characteristics. The first step is similar to the power swing blocking sequence. After timer POWER SWING
PICKUP DELAY 1 times out, Latch 1 is set as long as the impedance stays within the outer characteristic.
If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the middle char-
acteristic but stays outside the inner characteristic for a period of time defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2, Latch
2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic. If afterwards, at any time (given the impedance
stays within the outer characteristic), the locus enters the inner characteristic and stays there for a period of time
defined as POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3, Latch 2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the outer characteristic;
the element is now ready to trip.
If the "Early" trip mode is selected, the POWER SWING TRIP operand is set immediately and sealed-in for the interval set
by the POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY. If the "Delayed" trip mode is selected, the element waits until the impedance locus
leaves the inner characteristic, then times out the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 and sets Latch 4; the element is now
ready to trip. The trip operand is set later, when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
• Two-step operation: The 2-step mode of operation is similar to the 3-step mode with two exceptions. First, the initial
stage monitors the time spent by the impedance locus between the outer and inner characteristics. Second, the stage
involving the POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2 timer is bypassed. It is up to the user to integrate the blocking (POWER
SWING BLOCK) and tripping (POWER SWING TRIP) FlexLogic™ operands with other protection functions and output con-
tacts in order to make this element fully operational.
The element can be set to use either lens (mho) or rectangular (quad) characteristics as illustrated below. When set to
“Mho”, the element applies the right and left blinders as well. If the blinders are not required, their settings should be set
high enough to effectively disable the blinders.

The FlexLogic™ output operands for the Power Swing Detect element are described below:
• The POWER SWING OUTER, POWER SWING MIDDLE, POWER SWING INNER, POWER SWING TMR2 PKP, POWER SWING TMR3
PKP, and POWER SWING TMR4 PKP FlexLogic™ operands are auxiliary operands that could be used to facilitate testing
and special applications.
• The POWER SWING BLOCK FlexLogic™ operand shall be used to block selected protection elements such as distance
functions.

• The POWER SWING UN/BLOCK FlexLogic™ operand shall be used to block those protection elements that are intended
to be blocked under power swings, but subsequently unblocked should a fault occur after the power swing blocking
condition has been established.
• The POWER SWING 50DD FlexLogic™ operand indicates that an adaptive disturbance detector integrated with the ele-
ment has picked up. This operand will trigger on faults occurring during power swing conditions. This includes both
three-phase and single-pole-open conditions.
• The POWER SWING INCOMING FlexLogic™ operand indicates an unstable power swing with an incoming locus (the
locus enters the inner characteristic).
• The POWER SWING OUTGOING FlexLogic™ operand indicates an unstable power swing with an outgoing locus (the
locus leaving the outer characteristic). This operand can be used to count unstable swings and take certain action only
after pre-defined number of unstable power swings.
• The POWER SWING TRIP FlexLogic™ operand is a trip command.
The settings for the Power Swing Detect element are described below:
• POWER SWING FUNCTION: This setting enables/disables the entire Power Swing Detection element. The setting
applies to both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions.
• POWER SWING SOURCE: The source setting identifies the Signal Source for both blocking and tripping functions.
• POWER SWING SHAPE: This setting selects the shapes (either “Mho” or “Quad”) of the outer, middle and, inner char-
acteristics of the power swing detect element. The operating principle is not affected. The “Mho” characteristics use the
left and right blinders.
• POWER SWING MODE: This setting selects between the 2-step and 3-step operating modes and applies to both
power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping functions. The 3-step mode applies if there is enough space between the
5 maximum load impedances and distance characteristics of the relay that all three (outer, middle, and inner) character-
istics can be placed between the load and the distance characteristics. Whether the spans between the outer and mid-
dle as well as the middle and inner characteristics are sufficient should be determined by analysis of the fastest power
swings expected in correlation with settings of the power swing timers.
The 2-step mode uses only the outer and inner characteristics for both blocking and tripping functions. This leaves
more space in heavily loaded systems to place two power swing characteristics between the distance characteristics
and the maximum load, but allows for only one determination of the impedance trajectory.
• POWER SWING SUPV: A common overcurrent pickup level supervises all three power swing characteristics. The
supervision responds to the positive sequence current.
• POWER SWING FWD REACH: This setting specifies the forward reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quad characteristic. For a simple system consisting of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be higher
than the sum of the line and remote source positive-sequence impedances. Detailed transient stability studies may be
needed for complex systems in order to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the
POWER SWING FWD RCA setting.
• POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH MID: This setting specifies the forward reach of the middle quad characteristic.
The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting. The setting is not used if the
shape setting is “Mho”.
• POWER SWING QUAD FWD REACH OUT: This setting specifies the forward reach of the outer quad characteristic.
• POWER SWING FWD RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the forward reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics, angles of all the blinders, and both forward and reverse reach impedances of the quad characteristics.
• POWER SWING REV REACH: This setting specifies the reverse reach of all three mho characteristics and the inner
quad characteristic. For a simple system of a line and two equivalent sources, this reach should be higher than the
positive-sequence impedance of the local source. Detailed transient stability studies may be needed for complex sys-
tems to determine this setting. The angle of this reach impedance is specified by the POWER SWING REV RCA setting for
“Mho”, and the POWER SWING FWD RCA setting for “Quad”.
• POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH MID: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the middle quad characteristic.

• POWER SWING QUAD REV REACH OUT: This setting specifies the reverse reach of the outer quad characteristic.
• POWER SWING REV RCA: This setting specifies the angle of the reverse reach impedance for the mho characteris-
tics. This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING OUTER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the outer power swing characteristic. The convention
depicted in the Power Swing Detect Characteristic diagram should be observed: values greater than 90° result in an
‘apple’ shaped characteristic; values less than 90° result in a lens shaped characteristic. This angle must be selected
in consideration of the maximum expected load. If the maximum load angle is known, the outer limit angle should be
coordinated with a 20° security margin. Detailed studies may be needed for complex systems to determine this setting.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING MIDDLE LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the middle power swing detect characteristic. It is rele-
vant only for the 3-step mode. A typical value would be close to the average of the outer and inner limit angles. This
setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING INNER LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines the inner power swing detect characteristic. The inner
characteristic is used by the out-of-step tripping function: beyond the inner characteristic out-of-step trip action is defi-
nite (the actual trip may be delayed as per the TRIP MODE setting). Therefore, this angle must be selected in consider-
ation to the power swing angle beyond which the system becomes unstable and cannot recover.
The inner characteristic is also used by the power swing blocking function in the 2-step mode. In this case, set this
angle large enough so that the characteristics of the distance elements are safely enclosed by the inner characteristic.
This setting applies to mho shapes only.
• POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER RGT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the right
blinder. The blinder applies to both “Mho” and “Quad” characteristics. Set these value high if no blinder is required for
the “Mho” characteristic. 5
• POWER SWING OUTER, MIDDLE, and INNER LFT BLD: These settings specify the resistive reach of the left blinder.
Enter a positive value; the relay automatically uses a negative value. The blinder applies to both “Mho” and “Quad”
characteristics. Set this value high if no blinder is required for the “Mho” characteristic.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 1: All the coordinating timers are related to each other and should be set to detect
the fastest expected power swing and produce out-of-step tripping in a secure manner. The timers should be set in
consideration to the power swing detect characteristics, mode of power swing detect operation and mode of out-of-
step tripping. This timer defines the interval that the impedance locus must spend between the outer and inner charac-
teristics (2-step operating mode), or between the outer and middle characteristics (3-step operating mode) before the
power swing blocking signal is established. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for the imped-
ance locus to travel between the two selected characteristics during the fastest expected power swing. This setting is
relevant for both power swing blocking and out-of-step tripping.
• POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1: This setting defines the dropout delay for the power swing blocking signal. Detec-
tion of a condition requiring a Block output sets Latch 1 after PICKUP DELAY 1 time. When the impedance locus leaves
the outer characteristic, timer POWER SWING RESET DELAY 1 is started. When the timer times-out the latch is reset. This
setting should be selected to give extra security for the power swing blocking action.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 2: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in the 3-step mode only. This timer
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend between the middle and inner characteristics before the second
step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. This time delay must be set shorter than the time required for
the impedance locus to travel between the two characteristics during the fastest expected power swing.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 3: Controls the out-of-step tripping function only. It defines the interval the imped-
ance locus must spend within the inner characteristic before the last step of the out-of-step tripping sequence is com-
pleted and the element is armed to trip. The actual moment of tripping is controlled by the TRIP MODE setting. This time
delay is provided for extra security before the out-of-step trip action is executed.
• POWER SWING PICKUP DELAY 4: Controls the out-of-step tripping function in “Delayed” trip mode only. This timer
defines the interval the impedance locus must spend outside the inner characteristic but within the outer characteristic
before the element is armed for the delayed trip. The delayed trip occurs when the impedance leaves the outer charac-
teristic. This time delay is provided for extra security and should be set considering the fastest expected power swing.

• POWER SWING SEAL-IN DELAY: The out-of-step trip FlexLogic™ operand (POWER SWING TRIP) is sealed-in for the
specified period of time. The sealing-in is crucial in the delayed trip mode, as the original trip signal is a very short
pulse occurring when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic after the out-of-step sequence is completed.
• POWER SWING TRIP MODE: Selection of the “Early” trip mode results in an instantaneous trip after the last step in
the out-of-step tripping sequence is completed. The Early trip mode will stress the circuit breakers as the currents at
that moment are high (the electromotive forces of the two equivalent systems are approximately 180° apart). Selection
of the “Delayed” trip mode results in a trip at the moment when the impedance locus leaves the outer characteristic.
Delayed trip mode will relax the operating conditions for the breakers as the currents at that moment are low. The
selection should be made considering the capability of the breakers in the system.
• POWER SWING BLK: This setting specifies the FlexLogic™ operand used for blocking the out-of-step function only.
The power swing blocking function is operational all the time as long as the element is enabled. The blocking signal
resets the output POWER SWING TRIP operand but does not stop the out-of-step tripping sequence.

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal ‘energy capacity’ memory variable. When this variable indi-
cates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100% energy capac-
ity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value, the
variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: “Instantaneous” and “Timed”. The “Instan-
taneous” selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity
directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The “Timed” selection can be used where the relay must
coordinate with electromechanical relays.

IEEE CURVES:
The IEEE time overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the IEEE C37.112-1996 curve classifications
for extremely, very, and moderately inverse. The IEEE curves are derived from the formulae:
A tr
---------------------------------- + B ---------------------------------
-
I -⎞ p
T = TDM × ⎛ --------------- , T = TDM × ⎛ ----------------⎞ 2 – 1
I (EQ 5.10)
⎝ I pickup⎠ – 1
RESET
⎝ I pickup⎠
where: T = operate time (in seconds), TDM = Multiplier setting, I = input current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
A, B, p = constants, TRESET = reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET is “Timed”),
tr = characteristic constant

IEC CURVES
For European applications, the relay offers three standard curves defined in IEC 255-4 and British standard BS142. These
are defined as IEC Curve A, IEC Curve B, and IEC Curve C. The formulae for these curves are:
K tr
--------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
-
T = TDM × ( I ⁄ I pickup ) E – 1 , T RESET = TDM × ( I ⁄ I 2 (EQ 5.11)
pickup ) – 1
where: T = operate time (in seconds), TDM = Multiplier setting, I = input current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting, K, E =
constants, tr = characteristic constant, and TRESET = reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100%
and RESET is “Timed”)

FLEXCURVES™:
The custom FlexCurves™ are described in detail in the FlexCurves™ section of this chapter. The curve shapes for the
FlexCurves™ are derived from the formulae:
5 I
T = TDM × FlexCurve Time at ⎛⎝ ----------------⎞⎠
I
when ⎛⎝ ----------------⎞⎠ ≥ 1.00 (EQ 5.14)
I pickup I pickup
I I
T RESET = TDM × FlexCurve Time at ⎛⎝ ----------------⎞⎠ when ⎛⎝ ----------------⎞⎠ ≤ 0.98 (EQ 5.15)
I pickup I pickup
where: T = Operate Time (sec.), TDM = Multiplier setting

I = Input Current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
TRESET = Reset Time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET: Timed)
DEFINITE TIME CURVE:
The Definite Time curve shape operates as soon as the pickup level is exceeded for a specified period of time. The base
definite time curve delay is in seconds. The curve multiplier of 0.00 to 600.00 makes this delay adjustable from instanta-
neous to 600.00 seconds in steps of 10 ms.
T = TDM in seconds, when I > I pickup (EQ 5.16)
T RESET = – TDM in seconds (EQ 5.17)
where: T = Operate Time (sec.), TDM = Multiplier setting

I = Input Current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
TRESET = Reset Time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET: Timed)
RECLOSER CURVES:
The L90 uses the FlexCurve™ feature to facilitate programming of 41 recloser curves. Please refer to the FlexCurve™ sec-

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or
be used as a simple Definite Time element. The phase current input quantities may be programmed as fundamental phasor
magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to the Inverse TOC Curves Character-
istic sub-section earlier for details on curve setup, trip times and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time
accumulator will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to “Instan-
taneous” and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be dynamically reduced by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is accom-
plished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic curve (see
the figure below); the pickup level is calculated as ‘Mvr’ times the PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint feature
is disabled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

Figure 5–68: PHASE A DIRECTIONAL POLARIZATION

This element is intended to apply a block signal to an overcurrent element to prevent an operation when current is flowing
in a particular direction. The direction of current flow is determined by measuring the phase angle between the current from
the phase CTs and the line-line voltage from the VTs, based on the 90° or ‘quadrature’ connection. If there is a requirement
to supervise overcurrent elements for flows in opposite directions, such as can happen through a bus-tie breaker, two
phase directional elements should be programmed with opposite ECA settings.

To increase security for three phase faults very close to the VTs used to measure the polarizing voltage, a ‘voltage memory’
feature is incorporated. This feature stores the polarizing voltage the moment before the voltage collapses, and uses it to
determine direction. The voltage memory remains valid for one second after the voltage has collapsed.
The main component of the phase directional element is the phase angle comparator with two inputs: the operating signal
(phase current) and the polarizing signal (the line voltage, shifted in the leading direction by the characteristic angle, ECA).
The following table shows the operating and polarizing signals used for phase directional control:
PHASE OPERATING POLARIZING SIGNAL Vpol
SIGNAL
ABC PHASE SEQUENCE ACB PHASE SEQUENCE
A Angle of IA Angle of VBC × (1∠ECA) Angle of VCB × (1∠ECA)
B Angle of IB Angle of VCA × (1∠ECA) Angle of VAC × 1∠ECA)
C Angle of IC Angle of VAB × (1∠ECA) Angle of VBA × (1∠ECA)
MODE OF OPERATION:
• When the function is “Disabled”, or the operating current is below 5% × CT nominal, the element output is “0”.
• When the function is “Enabled”, the operating current is above 5% × CT nominal, and the polarizing voltage is above
the set threshold, the element output is dependent on the phase angle between the operating and polarizing signals:
– The element output is logic “0” when the operating current is within polarizing voltage ±90°.
– For all other angles, the element output is logic “1”.
• Once the voltage memory has expired, the phase overcurrent elements under directional control can be set to block or
trip on overcurrent as follows:
– When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to “Yes”, the directional element will block the operation of any phase
overcurrent element under directional control when voltage memory expires.
– When BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP is set to “No”, the directional element allows tripping of phase overcurrent elements
5
under directional control when voltage memory expires.
In all cases, directional blocking will be permitted to resume when the polarizing voltage becomes greater than the ‘polariz-
ing voltage threshold’.
SETTINGS:
• PHASE DIR 1 SIGNAL SOURCE: This setting is used to select the source for the operating and polarizing signals.
The operating current for the phase directional element is the phase current for the selected current source. The polar-
izing voltage is the line voltage from the phase VTs, based on the 90° or ‘quadrature’ connection and shifted in the
leading direction by the element characteristic angle (ECA).
• PHASE DIR 1 ECA: This setting is used to select the element characteristic angle, i.e. the angle by which the polariz-
ing voltage is shifted in the leading direction to achieve dependable operation. In the design of the UR-series elements,
a block is applied to an element by asserting logic 1 at the blocking input. This element should be programmed via the
ECA setting so that the output is logic 1 for current in the non-tripping direction.
• PHASE DIR 1 POL V THRESHOLD: This setting is used to establish the minimum level of voltage for which the phase
angle measurement is reliable. The setting is based on VT accuracy. The default value is "0.700 pu".
• PHASE DIR 1 BLOCK WHEN V MEM EXP: This setting is used to select the required operation upon expiration of
voltage memory. When set to "Yes", the directional element blocks the operation of any phase overcurrent element
under directional control, when voltage memory expires; when set to "No", the directional element allows tripping of
phase overcurrent elements under directional control.
The Phase Directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse
fault, the element needs some time – in the order of 8 ms – to establish a blocking signal. Some protection
NOTE
elements such as instantaneous overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the blocking signal is
established. Therefore, a coordination time of at least 10 ms must be added to all the instantaneous protec-
tion elements under the supervision of the Phase Directional element. If current reversal is of a concern, a
longer delay – in the order of 20 ms – may be needed.

The Neutral Instantaneous Overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
5 Definite Time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency pha-
sor calculated from the phase currents. A “positive-sequence restraint” is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming
the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K ⋅ I_1 ) where K = 1 ⁄ 16 (EQ 5.18)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• system unbalances under heavy load conditions
• transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults
• switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on how test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.9375 ⋅ I injected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: I op = 3 × I injected ).

There are two Neutral Directional Overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both forward and
reverse fault direction indications the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD and NEUTRAL DIR OC1 REV operands, respectively. The output
operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direc-
tion is seen as “forward or “reverse”, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of the either the neutral current calcu-
lated from the phase currents or the ground current. There are two separate pickup settings for the forward- and reverse-
looking functions, respectively. If set to use the calculated 3I_0, the element applies a “positive-sequence restraint” for bet-
ter performance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive–sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the
zero-sequence current magnitude when forming the operating quantity.
I op = 3 × ( I_0 – K × I_1 ) (EQ 5.19)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.

• Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
• Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
Iop = (1 – K) × Iinjected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: Iop = 3 × Iinjected).
The positive-sequence restraint is removed for low currents. If the positive-sequence current is below 0.8 pu, the restraint is
removed by changing the constant K to zero. This facilitates better response to high-resistance faults when the unbalance
is very small and there is no danger of excessive CT errors as the current is low.
The directional unit uses the zero-sequence current (I_0) or ground current (IG) for fault direction discrimination and may
be programmed to use either zero-sequence voltage (“Calculated V0” or “Measured VX”), ground current (IG), or both for
polarizing. The following tables define the neutral directional overcurrent element.

When NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT is set to “Measured VX”, one-third of this voltage is used in place of V_0. The following
figure explains the usage of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element.
The figure below shows the voltage-polarized phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with:
ECA = 90° (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80° (forward limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80° (reverse limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-
nation bringing more security to the element operation.
The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination.

The above bias should be taken into account when using the neutral directional overcurrent element to directionalize other
protection elements.

Figure 5–72: NEUTRAL DIRECTIONAL VOLTAGE-POLARIZED CHARACTERISTICS

• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING: This setting selects the polarizing mode for the directional unit.
– If “Voltage” polarizing is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization. The user
can use either the zero-sequence voltage V_0 calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence voltage
supplied externally as the auxiliary voltage Vx, both from the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE.
The calculated V_0 can be used as polarizing voltage only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The
auxiliary voltage can be used as the polarizing voltage provided SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK
AUXILIARY VT CONNECTION is set to “Vn” and the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage
source (such as open delta connected secondary of VTs).
The zero-sequence (V_0) or auxiliary voltage (Vx), accordingly, must be higher than 0.02 pu nominal voltage to be
validated as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is invalid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
– If “Current” polarizing is selected, the element uses the ground current angle connected externally and configured
under NEUTRAL OC1 SOURCE for polarization. The Ground CT must be connected between the ground and neutral
point of an adequate local source of ground current. The ground current must be higher than 0.05 pu to be vali-
dated as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
For a choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure that a known
direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location. For example, if using an autotransformer neutral current
as a polarizing source, it should be ensured that a reversal of the ground current does not occur for a high-side
fault. The low-side system impedance should be assumed minimal when checking for this condition. A similar sit-
uation arises for a Wye/Delta/Wye transformer, where current in one transformer winding neutral may reverse
when faults on both sides of the transformer are considered.
– If "Dual" polarizing is selected, the element performs both directional comparisons as described above. A given
direction is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting (simultaneous forward
and reverse) indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POL VOLT: Selects the polarizing voltage used by the directional unit when "Voltage" or "Dual"
polarizing mode is set. The polarizing voltage can be programmed to be either the zero-sequence voltage calculated
from the phase voltages ("Calculated V0") or supplied externally as an auxiliary voltage ("Measured VX").

• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OP CURR: This setting indicates whether the 3I_0 current calculated from the phase currents, or
the ground current shall be used by this protection. This setting acts as a switch between the neutral and ground
modes of operation (67N and 67G). If set to “Calculated 3I0” the element uses the phase currents and applies the pos-
itive-sequence restraint; if set to “Measured IG” the element uses ground current supplied to the ground CT of the CT
bank configured as NEUTRAL DIR OC1 SOURCE. If this setting is “Measured IG”, then the NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POLARIZING
setting must be “Voltage”, as it is not possible to use the ground current as an operating and polarizing signal simulta-
neously.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the amount of the positive-sequence restraint. Set
to 0.063 for backward compatibility with firmware revision 3.40 and older. Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set
higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary appli-
cation for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines. See
the Chapter 9 for information on how to calculate this setting. In regular applications, the offset impedance ensures
proper operation even if the zero-sequence voltage at the relaying point is very small. If this is the intent, the offset
impedance shall not be larger than the zero-sequence impedance of the protected circuit. Practically, it shall be several
times smaller. See Chapter 8 for additional details. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary ohms.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting defines the characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction in the
"Voltage" polarizing mode. The "Current" polarizing mode uses a fixed ECA of 0°. The ECA in the reverse direction is
the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
• NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit

This element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or be used as a simple
Definite Time element. The ground current input value is the quantity measured by the ground input CT and is the funda-
mental phasor or RMS magnitude. Two methods of resetting operation are available; “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to
the Inverse Time Overcurrent Curve Characteristics section for details). When the element is blocked, the time accumulator
will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to “Instantaneous” and
the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
These elements measure the current that is connected to the ground channel of a CT/VT module. The conversion
range of a standard channel is from 0.02 to 46 times the CT rating.

The negative sequence time overcurrent element may be used to determine and clear unbalance in the system. The input
for calculating negative sequence current is the fundamental phasor value.
Two methods of resetting operation are available; “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (refer to the Inverse Time Overcurrent Char-

The Negative Sequence Instantaneous Overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional
delay or as a Definite Time function. The element responds to the negative-sequence current fundamental frequency pha-
sor magnitude (calculated from the phase currents) and applies a “positive-sequence” restraint for better performance: a 5
small portion (12.5%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative-sequence current magni-
tude when forming the operating quantity:
I op = I_2 – K ⋅ I_1 where K = 1 ⁄ 8 (EQ 5.20)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence cur-
rents resulting from:
• system unbalances under heavy load conditions
• transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during three-phase faults
• fault inception and switch-off transients during three-phase faults
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single phase injection:
I op = 0.2917 ⋅ I injected ; three phase injection, opposite rotation: I op = I injected ).

There are two Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent protection elements available. The element provides both for-
ward and reverse fault direction indications through its output operands NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD and NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV,
respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is above a pickup level (overcurrent
unit) and the fault direction is seen as ‘forward’ or ‘reverse’, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit of the element essentially responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of either
the negative-sequence or zero-sequence current as per user selection. The zero-sequence current should not be mistaken
with the neutral current (factor 3 difference).
A ‘positive-sequence restraint’ is applied for better performance: a small user-programmable portion of the positive–
sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative- or zero-sequence current magnitude, respectively, when
forming the element operating quantity.
I op = I_2 – K × I_1 or I op = I_0 – K × I_1 (EQ 5.21)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative- and zero-
sequence currents resulting from:
• System unbalances under heavy load conditions.
• Transformation errors of Current Transformers (CTs).
• Fault inception and switch-off transients.

The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pick-up accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay:
• single-phase injection: Iop = 1/3 × (1 – K) × Iinjected
• three-phase pure zero- or negative-sequence injection, respectively: Iop = Iinjected.
• the directional unit uses the negative-sequence current and voltage for fault direction discrimination
The following table defines the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element.
OVERCURRENT UNIT DIRECTIONAL UNIT
MODE OPERATING CURRENT DIRECTION COMPARED PHASORS
Negative-Sequence Iop = |I_2| – K × I_1| Forward –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 I_2 × 1∠ECA
Reverse –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 –(I_2 × 1∠ECA)
Zero-Sequence Iop = |I_0| – K × |I_1| Forward –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 I_2 × 1∠ECA
Reverse –V_2 + Z_offset × I_2 –(I_2 × 1∠ECA)
The negative-sequence voltage must be higher than the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES VOLTAGE CUT-OFF
LEVEL value to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not validated neither forward nor reverse
indication is given. The following figure explains the usage of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element.
The figure below shows the phase angle comparator characteristics for a Phase A to ground fault, with settings of:
ECA = 75° (Element Characteristic Angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
FWD LA = 80° (Forward Limit Angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
REV LA = 80° (Reverse Limit Angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power system
cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is designed to emu-
late an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in faster directional discrimi-

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and therefore,
should be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as compared to the forward-
looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows for better protection coordination. The above
bias should be taken into account when using the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element to ‘directionalize’
other protection elements.

• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 OFFSET: This setting specifies the offset impedance used by this protection. The primary applica-
tion for the offset impedance is to guarantee correct identification of fault direction on series compensated lines (see
the Application of Settings chapter for information on how to calculate this setting). In regular applications, the offset
impedance ensures proper operation even if the negative-sequence voltage at the relaying point is very small. If this is
the intent, the offset impedance shall not be larger than the negative-sequence impedance of the protected circuit.
Practically, it shall be several times smaller. The offset impedance shall be entered in secondary ohms. See the Theory
of Operation chapter for additional details.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE: This setting selects the operating mode for the overcurrent unit of the element. The
choices are “Neg Sequence” and “Zero Sequence”. In some applications it is advantageous to use a directional nega-
tive-sequence overcurrent function instead of a directional zero-sequence overcurrent function as inter-circuit mutual
effects are minimized.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 POS-SEQ RESTRAINT: This setting controls the amount of the positive-sequence restraint. Set
to 0.063 (in “Zero Sequence” mode) or 0.125 (in “Neg Sequence” mode) for backward compatibility with firmware revi-
sion 3.40 and older. Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance
are expected.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD ECA: This setting select the element characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction.
The element characteristic angle in the reverse direction is the angle set for the forward direction shifted by 180°.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
angle for the forward direction.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit in the forward direc-
tion. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current. When
selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a ‘positive-sequence restraint’ technique.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV LIMIT ANGLE: This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit
5 angle for the reverse direction.
• NEG SEQ DIR OC1 REV PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup level for the overcurrent unit in the reverse direc-
tion. Upon NEG SEQ DIR OC1 TYPE selection, this pickup threshold applies to zero- or negative-sequence current. When
selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a ‘positive-sequence restraint’ technique.

There are 2 identical Breaker Failure menus available, numbered 1 and 2.

In general, a breaker failure scheme determines that a breaker signaled to trip has not cleared a fault within a definite time,
so further tripping action must be performed. Tripping from the breaker failure scheme should trip all breakers, both local
and remote, that can supply current to the faulted zone. Usually operation of a breaker failure element will cause clearing of
a larger section of the power system than the initial trip. Because breaker failure can result in tripping a large number of
breakers and this affects system safety and stability, a very high level of security is required.
Two schemes are provided: one for three-pole tripping only (identified by the name "3BF") and one for three pole plus sin-
gle-pole operation (identified by the name "1BF"). The philosophy used in these schemes is identical. The operation of a
breaker failure element includes three stages: initiation, determination of a breaker failure condition, and output.
INITIATION STAGE:
A FlexLogic™ operand representing the protection trip signal initially sent to the breaker must be selected to initiate the
scheme. The initiating signal should be sealed-in if primary fault detection can reset before the breaker failure timers have
finished timing. The seal-in is supervised by current level, so it is reset when the fault is cleared. If desired, an incomplete
sequence seal-in reset can be implemented by using the initiating operand to also initiate a FlexLogic™ timer, set longer
than any breaker failure timer, whose output operand is selected to block the breaker failure scheme.
Schemes can be initiated either directly or with current level supervision. It is particularly important in any application to
decide if a current-supervised initiate is to be used. The use of a current-supervised initiate results in the breaker failure ele-
ment not being initiated for a breaker that has very little or no current flowing through it, which may be the case for trans-
former faults. For those situations where it is required to maintain breaker fail coverage for fault levels below the BF1 PH
AMP SUPV PICKUP or the BF1 N AMP SUPV PICKUP setting, a current supervised initiate should not be used. This feature
should be utilized for those situations where coordinating margins may be reduced when high speed reclosing is used.
Thus, if this choice is made, fault levels must always be above the supervision pickup levels for dependable operation of
the breaker fail scheme. This can also occur in breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations where the first breaker closes
into a fault; the protection trips and attempts to initiate breaker failure for the second breaker, which is in the process of
closing, but does not yet have current flowing through it.

When the scheme is initiated, it immediately sends a trip signal to the breaker initially signaled to trip (this feature is usually
described as Re-Trip). This reduces the possibility of widespread tripping that results from a declaration of a failed breaker.
DETERMINATION OF A BREAKER FAILURE CONDITION:
The schemes determine a breaker failure condition via three ‘paths’. Each of these paths is equipped with a time delay,
after which a failed breaker is declared and trip signals are sent to all breakers required to clear the zone. The delayed
paths are associated with Breaker Failure Timers 1, 2, and 3, which are intended to have delays increasing with increasing
timer numbers. These delayed paths are individually enabled to allow for maximum flexibility.
Timer 1 logic (Early Path) is supervised by a fast-operating breaker auxiliary contact. If the breaker is still closed (as indi-
cated by the auxiliary contact) and fault current is detected after the delay interval, an output is issued. Operation of the
breaker auxiliary switch indicates that the breaker has mechanically operated. The continued presence of current indicates
that the breaker has failed to interrupt the circuit.
Timer 2 logic (Main Path) is not supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact. If fault current is detected after the delay interval,
an output is issued. This path is intended to detect a breaker that opens mechanically but fails to interrupt fault current; the
logic therefore does not use a breaker auxiliary contact.
The Timer 1 and 2 paths provide two levels of current supervision, Hi-set and Lo-set, that allow the supervision level to
change from a current which flows before a breaker inserts an opening resistor into the faulted circuit to a lower level after
resistor insertion. The Hi-set detector is enabled after timeout of Timer 1 or 2, along with a timer that will enable the Lo-set
detector after its delay interval. The delay interval between Hi-set and Lo-set is the expected breaker opening time. Both
current detectors provide a fast operating time for currents at small multiples of the pickup value. The overcurrent detectors
are required to operate after the breaker failure delay interval to eliminate the need for very fast resetting overcurrent detec-
tors.
Timer 3 logic (Slow Path) is supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact and a control switch contact used to indicate that the
breaker is in/out of service, disabling this path when the breaker is out of service for maintenance. There is no current level
check in this logic as it is intended to detect low magnitude faults and it is therefore the slowest to operate. 5
OUTPUT:
The outputs from the schemes are:
• FlexLogic™ operands that report on the operation of portions of the scheme
• FlexLogic™ operand used to re-trip the protected breaker
• FlexLogic™ operands that initiate tripping required to clear the faulted zone. The trip output can be sealed-in for an
adjustable period.
• Target message indicating a failed breaker has been declared
• Illumination of the faceplate Trip LED (and the Phase A, B or C LED, if applicable)

SETTINGS:
5 •
•
BF1 MODE: This setting is used to select the breaker failure operating mode: single or three pole.
BF1 USE AMP SUPV: If set to "Yes", the element will only be initiated if current flowing through the breaker is above
the supervision pickup level.
• BF1 USE SEAL-IN: If set to "Yes", the element will only be sealed-in if current flowing through the breaker is above the
supervision pickup level.
• BF1 3-POLE INITIATE: This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand that will initiate 3-pole tripping of the breaker.
• BF1 PH AMP SUPV PICKUP: This setting is used to set the phase current initiation and seal-in supervision level.
Generally this setting should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker. It can be set as low as
necessary (lower than breaker resistor current or lower than load current) - Hiset and Loset current supervision will
guarantee correct operation.
• BF1 N AMP SUPV PICKUP: This setting is used to set the neutral current initiate and seal-in supervision level. Gener-
ally this setting should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker. Neutral current supervision is
used only in the three phase scheme to provide increased sensitivity. This setting is valid only for three-pole tripping
schemes.
• BF1 USE TIMER 1: If set to "Yes", the Early Path is operational.
• BF1 TIMER 1 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 1 is set to the shortest time required for breaker auxiliary contact Status-1 to
open, from the time the initial trip signal is applied to the breaker trip circuit, plus a safety margin.
• BF1 USE TIMER 2: If set to "Yes", the Main Path is operational.
• BF1 TIMER 2 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 2 is set to the expected opening time of the breaker, plus a safety margin. This
safety margin was historically intended to allow for measuring and timing errors in the breaker failure scheme equip-
ment. In microprocessor relays this time is not significant. In L90 relays, which use a Fourier transform, the calculated
current magnitude will ramp-down to zero one power frequency cycle after the current is interrupted, and this lag
should be included in the overall margin duration, as it occurs after current interruption. The Breaker Failure Main Path
Sequence diagram below shows a margin of two cycles; this interval is considered the minimum appropriate for most
applications.
Note that in bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents less than 25% of the interrupting rating can be
significantly longer than the normal interrupting time.
• BF1 USE TIMER 3: If set to "Yes", the Slow Path is operational.

• BF1 TIMER 3 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 3 is set to the same interval as Timer 2, plus an increased safety margin.
Because this path is intended to operate only for low level faults, the delay can be in the order of 300 to 500 ms.
• BF1 BKR POS1 φA/3P: This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the protected breaker early-type
auxiliary switch contact (52/a). When using 1-Pole breaker failure scheme, this operand represents the protected
breaker early-type auxiliary switch contact on pole A. This is normally a non-multiplied Form-A contact. The contact
may even be adjusted to have the shortest possible operating time.
• BF1 BKR POS2 φA/3P: This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the breaker normal-type auxiliary
switch contact (52/a). When using 1-Pole breaker failure scheme, this operand represents the protected breaker auxil-
iary switch contact on pole A. This may be a multiplied contact.
• BF1 BREAKER TEST ON: This setting is used to select the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the breaker In-Ser-
vice/Out-of-Service switch set to the Out-of-Service position.
• BF1 PH AMP HISET PICKUP: This setting sets the phase current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, before a breaker opening resistor is inserted.
• BF1 N AMP HISET PICKUP: This setting sets the neutral current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, before a breaker opening resistor is inserted.
Neutral current supervision is used only in the three pole scheme to provide increased sensitivity. This setting is valid
only for 3-pole breaker failure schemes.
• BF1 PH AMP LOSET PICKUP: This setting sets the phase current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, after a breaker opening resistor is inserted
(approximately 90% of the resistor current).
• BF1 N AMP LOSET PICKUP: This setting sets the neutral current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, after a breaker opening resistor is inserted
•
(approximately 90% of the resistor current). This setting is valid only for 3-pole breaker failure schemes.
BF1 LOSET TIME DELAY: Sets the pickup delay for current detection after opening resistor insertion.
5
• BF1 TRIP DROPOUT DELAY: This setting is used to set the period of time for which the trip output is sealed-in. This
timer must be coordinated with the automatic reclosing scheme of the failed breaker, to which the breaker failure ele-
ment sends a cancel reclosure signal. Reclosure of a remote breaker can also be prevented by holding a Transfer Trip
signal on longer than the "reclaim" time.
• BF1 PH A INITIATE / BF1 PH B INITIATE / BF 1 PH C INITIATE: These settings select the FlexLogic™ operand to ini-
tiate phase A, B, or C single-pole tripping of the breaker and the phase A, B, or C portion of the scheme, accordingly.
This setting is only valid for 1-pole breaker failure schemes.
• BF1 BKR POS1 φB / BF1 BKR POS 1 φC: These settings select the FlexLogic™ operand to represents the protected
breaker early-type auxiliary switch contact on poles B or C, accordingly. This contact is normally a non-multiplied Form-
A contact. The contact may even be adjusted to have the shortest possible operating time. This setting is valid only for
1-pole breaker failure schemes.
• BF1 BKR POS2 φB: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type auxiliary
switch contact on pole B (52/a). This may be a multiplied contact. This setting is valid only for 1-pole breaker failure
schemes.
• BF1 BKR POS2 φC: This setting selects the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type
auxiliary switch contact on pole C (52/a). This may be a multiplied contact. For single-pole operation, the scheme has
the same overall general concept except that it provides re-tripping of each single pole of the protected breaker. The
approach shown in the following single pole tripping diagram uses the initiating information to determine which pole is
supposed to trip. The logic is segregated on a per-pole basis. The overcurrent detectors have ganged settings. This
setting is valid only for 1-pole breaker failure schemes.
Upon operation of the breaker failure element for a single pole trip command, a 3-pole trip command should be given
via output operand BKR FAIL 1 TRIP OP.

5 These protection elements can be used for a variety of applications such as:
Undervoltage Protection: For voltage sensitive loads, such as induction motors, a drop in voltage increases the drawn
current which may cause dangerous overheating in the motor. The undervoltage protection feature can be used to either
cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified voltage setting for a specified time delay.
Permissive Functions: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning of external devices by operating an
output relay when the voltage falls below the specified voltage setting. The undervoltage feature may also be used to block
the functioning of other elements through the block feature of those elements.
Source Transfer Schemes: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be generated to transfer a load from its
normal source to a standby or emergency power source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have a Definite Time delay characteristic. The Definite Time curve oper-
ates when the voltage drops below the pickup level for a specified period of time. The time delay is adjustable from 0 to
600.00 seconds in steps of 10 ms. The undervoltage elements can also be programmed to have an inverse time delay
characteristic. The undervoltage delay setting defines the family of curves shown below.

This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied fundamental voltage
(phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase for Wye VT connection, or phase-to-phase for Delta VT connection) or as a Definite
Time element. The element resets instantaneously if the applied voltage exceeds the dropout voltage. The delay setting
selects the minimum operating time of the phase undervoltage. The minimum voltage setting selects the operating voltage
below which the element is blocked (a setting of “0” will allow a dead source to be considered a fault condition).

There are three neutral overvoltage elements available. The neutral overvoltage element can be used to detect asymmetri-
cal system voltage condition due to a ground fault or to the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds
to the system neutral voltage (3V_0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the phase volt-
age channels entered under SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK PHASE VT SECONDARY is the
p.u. base used when setting the pickup level.
The Neutral Overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic versus the applied voltage (initialized
from FlexCurves A, B, or C) or be used as a definite time element. The NEUTRAL OV1(3) PICKUP DELAY setting applies only if
the NEUTRAL OV1(3) CURVE setting is “Definite time”. The source assigned to this element must be configured for a phase
VT.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element. This function requires the VTs to
be Wye connected.

The Disturbance Detector element is an 87L-dedicated sensitive current disturbance detector that is used to detect any dis-
turbance on the protected system. This detector is intended for such functions as trip output supervision and starting oscil-
lography The Disturbance Detector also signals the 87L function that a disturbance (possible fault) occurred and to resize
the operating window to remove the pre-fault current. It is essential to have the Disturbance Detector enabled for applica-
tions where the 87L operating time is critical.
If the disturbance detector is used to supervise the operation of the 87L function, it is recommended that the 87L Trip logic
element be used. The 50DD SV disturbance detector FlexLogic™ operand must then be assigned to an 87L TRIP SUPV set-
ting.
The Disturbance Detector function measures the magnitude of the negative sequence current (I_2), the magnitude of the
zero sequence current (I_0), the change in negative sequence current (ΔI_2), the change in zero sequence current (ΔI_0),
and the change in positive sequence current (ΔI_1). The DD element uses the same source of computing currents as that
for the current differential scheme 87L.
The Adaptive Level Detector operates as follows:
• When the absolute level increases above 0.12 pu for I_0 or I_2, the Adaptive Level Detector output is active and the
next highest threshold level is increased 8 cycles later from 0.12 to 0.24 pu in steps of 0.02 pu. If the level exceeds
0.24 pu, the current Adaptive Level Detector setting remains at 0.24 pu and the output remains active (as well as the
DD output) when the measured value remains above the current setting.
• When the absolute level is decreasing from in range from 0.24 to 0.12 pu, the lower level is set every 8 cycles without
the Adaptive Level Detector active. Note that the 50DD output remains inactive during this change as long as the delta
change is less than 0.04 pu.
The Delta Level Detectors (ΔI) detectors are designed to pickup for the 0.04 pu change in I_1, I_2, and I_0 currents. The ΔI
is measured by comparing the present value to the value calculated 4 cycles earlier.
• DD FUNCTION: This setting is used to enable/disable the operation of the Disturbance Detector.
• DD NON-CURRENT SUPV: This setting is used to select a FlexLogic™ operand which will activate the output of the
Disturbance Detector upon events (such as frequency or voltage change) not accompanied by a current change.

• DD CONTROL LOGIC: This setting is used to prevent operation of I_0 and I_2 logic of Disturbance Detector during
conditions such as single breaker pole being open which leads to unbalanced load current in single pole tripping
schemes. Breaker auxiliary contact can be used for such scheme.
• DD LOGIC SEAL-IN: This setting is used to maintain Disturbance Detector output for such conditions as balanced 3-
phase fault, low level TOC fault, etc. whenever the Disturbance Detector might reset. Output of the Disturbance Detec-
tor will be maintained until the chosen FlexLogic™ operand resets.
The user may disable the DD EVENTS setting as the DD element will respond to any current disturbance on the sys-
tem which may result in filling the events buffer and thus cause the possible loss of any more valuable data.

The Open Pole Detector logic is designed to detect if any pole of the associated circuit breaker is opened or the conductor
is broken on the protected power line and cable. The output FlexLogic™ operands can be used in three phase and single
phase tripping schemes, in reclosing schemes, in blocking some elements (like CT failure) and in signaling or indication
schemes. In single-pole tripping schemes, if OPEN POLE flag is set, any other subsequent fault should cause a three-
phase trip regardless of fault type.
This element's logic is built on detecting absence of current in one phase during presence of current in other phases.
Phases A, B and C breaker auxiliary contacts (if available) are used in addition to make a logic decision for single-pole trip-
ping applications. If voltage input is available, Low Voltage function is used to detect absence of the monitoring voltage in
the associated pole of the breaker.
• OPEN POLE FUNCTION: This setting is used to Enable/Disable operation of the element.
• OPEN POLE BLOCK: This setting is used to select a FlexLogic™ operand that blocks operation of the element.
• OPEN POLE CURRENT SOURCE: This setting is used to select the source for the current for the element.
• OPEN POLE CURRENT PICKUP: This setting is used to select the pickup value of the phase current. Pickup setting
is the minimum of the range and likely to be somewhat above of the charging current of the line.
• OPEN POLE BROKEN CONDUCTOR: This setting enables or disables detection of Broken Conductor or Remote
Pole Open conditions.

• OPEN POLE VOLTAGE INPUT: This setting is used to Enable/Disable voltage input in making a logical decision. If line
VT (not bus VT) is available, voltage input can be set to "Enable".
• OPEN POLE VOLTAGE SOURCE: This setting is used to select the source for the voltage for the element.
• OPEN POLE φA(C) AUX CONTACT: These three settings used to select a FlexLogic™ operand reflecting the state of
phase A circuit breaker auxiliary contact 52b type (closed when main breaker contact is open) for single-pole tripping
applications. If 2 breakers per line are being employed, both breaker auxiliary contacts feeding into the AND gate (rep-
resenting auxiliary contacts connected in series) are to be assigned.
• OPEN POLE PICKUP DELAY: This setting is used to select the pickup delay of the element.
• OPEN POLE RESET DELAY: This setting is used to select the reset delay of the element. Depending on the particular
application and whether 1-pole or 3-pole tripping mode is used, this setting should be thoroughly considered. It should
comprise the reset time of the operating elements it used in conjunction with the breaker opening time and breaker
auxiliary contacts discrepancy with the main contacts.

The 87L Trip element must be used to secure the generation of tripping outputs. It is especially recommended for use in all
single-pole tripping applications. It provides the user with the capability of maintaining the trip signal while the fault current
is still flowing, to choose single-pole or three-pole tripping, to employ the received Direct Transfer Trip signals, to assign
supervising trip elements like 50DD, etc. The logic is used to ensure that the relay will:
• trip the faulted phase for a single line to ground fault, as detected by the line differential element
• trip all three phases for any internal multiphase fault
• trip all three phases for a second single line to ground fault during or following a single pole trip cycle
For maximum security, it is recommended the Disturbance Detector (plus other elements if required) be assigned to see a
change in system status before a trip output is permitted. This ensures the relay will not issue a trip signal as a result of
incorrect settings, incorrect manipulations with a relay, or inter-relay communications problems (for example, extremely
noisy channels). The Open Pole Detector provides forcing of three-pole tripping for sequential faults and close-onto-fault if
desired. The Open Pole Detector feature must be employed and adequately programmed for proper operation of this fea-
ture. The 87L TRIP 1P OP and 87L TRIP 3P OP operands are provided to initiate single-pole or three-pole autoreclosing.

The Setting Groups menu controls the activation/deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the GROUPED ELE-
MENTS settings menu. The faceplate ‘Settings In Use’ LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
LED) is in service.
The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic™ parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
Each GROUP n ACTIVATE ON setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which, when set, will make the particular setting group
active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a given time – the high-
est-numbered group which is activated by its GROUP n ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered
groups. There is no “activate on” setting for Group 1 (the default active group), because Group 1 automatically becomes
active if no other group is active.
The SETTING GROUP 1(6) NAME settings allows to user to assign a name to each of the six settings groups. Once pro-
grammed, this name will appear on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) menu display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic™ equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic™ equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications
(e.g. VIRTUAL INPUT 1) or from a local contact input (e.g. H7a) to initiate the use of a particular settings group, and requests
from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular settings group. The assigned VIR-
TUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the “On” state of a particular settings group.

The Selector Switch element is intended to replace a mechanical selector switch. Typical applications include setting group
control or control of multiple logic sub-circuits in user-programmable logic.
The element provides for two control inputs. The step-up control allows stepping through selector position one step at a
time with each pulse of the control input, such as a user-programmable pushbutton. The 3-bit control input allows setting
the selector to the position defined by a 3-bit word.
The element allows pre-selecting a new position without applying it. The pre-selected position gets applied either after time-
out or upon acknowledgement via separate inputs (user setting). The selector position is stored in non-volatile memory.
Upon power-up, either the previous position is restored or the relay synchronizes to the current 3-bit word (user setting).
Basic alarm functionality alerts the user under abnormal conditions; e.g. the 3-bit control input being out of range.
• SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE: This setting defines the upper position of the selector. When stepping up through avail-
able positions of the selector, the upper position wraps up to the lower position (Position 1). When using a direct 3-bit
control word for programming the selector to a desired position, the change would take place only if the control word is
within the range of 1 to the SELECTOR FULL RANGE. If the control word is outside the range, an alarm is established by
setting the SELECTOR ALARM FlexLogic™ operand for 3 seconds.
• SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT: This setting defines the time-out period for the selector. This value is used by the relay in
the following two ways. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is “Time-out”, the setting specifies the required period of
inactivity of the control input after which the pre-selected position is automatically applied. When the SELECTOR STEP-
UP MODE is “Acknowledge”, the setting specifies the period of time for the acknowledging input to appear. The timer is
re-started by any activity of the control input. The acknowledging input must come before the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT
timer expires; otherwise, the change will not take place and an alarm will be set.
• SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP: This setting specifies a control input for the selector switch. The switch is shifted to a new
position at each rising edge of this signal. The position changes incrementally, wrapping up from the last (SELECTOR 1
FULL RANGE) to the first (Position 1). Consecutive pulses of this control operand must not occur faster than every
5 50 ms. After each rising edge of the assigned operand, the time-out timer is restarted and the SELECTOR SWITCH 1:
POS Z CHNG INITIATED target message is displayed, where Z the pre-selected position. The message is displayed for
the time specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. The pre-selected position is applied after the selector times out
(“Time-out” mode), or when the acknowledging signal appears before the element times out (“Acknowledge” mode).
When the new position is applied, the relay displays the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POSITION Z IN USE message. Typically,
a user-programmable pushbutton is configured as the stepping up control input.
• SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out”, the
selector will change its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and
does not require any explicit confirmation of the intent to change the selector's position. When set to “Acknowledge”,
the selector will change its position only after the intent is confirmed through a separate acknowledging signal. If the
acknowledging signal does not appear within a pre-defined period of time, the selector does not accept the change
and an alarm is established by setting the SELECTOR STP ALARM output FlexLogic™ operand for 3 seconds.
• SELECTOR 1 ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the stepping up control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned operand. This setting is active only under “Acknowledge” mode of
operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT setting after the
last activity of the control input. A user-programmable pushbutton is typically configured as the acknowledging input.
• SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0, A1, and A2: These settings specify a 3-bit control input of the selector. The 3-bit control word
pre-selects the position using the following encoding convention:
A2 A1 A0 POSITION
0 0 0 rest
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 2
0 1 1 3
1 0 0 4
1 0 1 5
1 1 0 6
1 1 1 7

The “rest” position (0, 0, 0) does not generate an action and is intended for situations when the device generating the
3-bit control word is having a problem. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is “Time-out”, the pre-selected position is applied
in SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT seconds after the last activity of the 3-bit input. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is “Acknowl-
edge”, the pre-selected position is applied on the rising edge of the SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK acknowledging input.
The stepping up control input (SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP) and the 3-bit control inputs (SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0 through A2) lock-
out mutually: once the stepping up sequence is initiated, the 3-bit control input is inactive; once the 3-bit control
sequence is initiated, the stepping up input is inactive.
• SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out”, the selector
changes its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not
require explicit confirmation to change the selector position. When set to “Acknowledge”, the selector changes its posi-
tion only after confirmation via a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging signal does not appear within a
pre-defined period of time, the selector rejects the change and an alarm established by invoking the SELECTOR BIT
ALARM FlexLogic™ operand for 3 seconds.
• SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the 3-bit control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned FlexLogic™ operand. This setting is active only under the
“Acknowledge” mode of operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR
TIME-OUT setting after the last activity of the 3-bit control inputs. Note that the stepping up control input and 3-bit control
input have independent acknowledging signals (SELECTOR 1 ACK and SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK, accordingly).
• SELECTOR 1 POWER-UP MODE: This setting specifies the element behavior on power up of the relay.
When set to “Restore”, the last position of the selector (stored in the non-volatile memory) is restored after powering up
the relay. If the position restored from memory is out of range, position 0 (no output operand selected) is applied and
an alarm is set (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
When set to “Synchronize” selector switch acts as follows. For two power cycles, the selector applies position 0 to the
switch and activates SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM. After two power cycles expire, the selector synchronizes to the position 5
dictated by the 3-bit control input. This operation does not wait for time-out or the acknowledging input. When the syn-
chronization attempt is unsuccessful (i.e., the 3-bit input is not available (0,0,0) or out of range) then the selector switch
output is set to position 0 (no output operand selected) and an alarm is established (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
The operation of “Synch/Restore” mode is similar to the “Synchronize” mode. The only difference is that after an
unsuccessful synchronization attempt, the switch will attempt to restore the position stored in the relay memory. The
“Synch/Restore” mode is useful for applications where the selector switch is employed to change the setting group in
redundant (two relay) protection schemes.
• SELECTOR 1 EVENTS: If enabled, the following events are logged:

APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Consider an application where the selector switch is used to control Setting Groups 1 through 4 in the relay. The setting
groups are to be controlled from both User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 and from an external device via Contact Inputs 1
through 3. The active setting group shall be available as an encoded 3-bit word to the external device and SCADA via out-
put contacts 1 through 3. The pre-selected setting group shall be applied automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity of the
control inputs. When the relay powers up, it should synchronize the setting group to the 3-bit control input.
Make the following changes to Setting Group Control in the SETTINGS CONTROL ELEMENTS SETTING GROUPS menu:
SETTING GROUPS FUNCTION: “Enabled” GROUP 4 ACTIVATE ON: “SELECTOR 1 POS 4"
SETTING GROUPS BLK: “Off” GROUP 5 ACTIVATE ON: “Off”
GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON: “SELECTOR 1 POS 2" GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON: “Off”
GROUP 3 ACTIVATE ON: “SELECTOR 1 POS 3"
Make the following changes to Selector Switch element in the SETTINGS CONTROL ELEMENTS SELECTOR SWITCH

The are two identical synchrocheck elements available, numbered 1 and 2.

The synchronism check function is intended for supervising the paralleling of two parts of a system which are to be joined
by the closure of a circuit breaker. The synchrocheck elements are typically used at locations where the two parts of the
system are interconnected through at least one other point in the system.
Synchrocheck verifies that the voltages (V1 and V2) on the two sides of the supervised circuit breaker are within set limits
of magnitude, angle and frequency differences. The time that the two voltages remain within the admissible angle differ-
ence is determined by the setting of the phase angle difference ΔΦ and the frequency difference ΔF (slip frequency). It can
be defined as the time it would take the voltage phasor V1 or V2 to traverse an angle equal to 2 × ΔΦ at a frequency equal
to the frequency difference ΔF. This time can be calculated by:
1
T = -------------------------------
- (EQ 5.22)
360°
------------------ × ΔF
2 × ΔΦ
where: ΔΦ = phase angle difference in degrees; ΔF = frequency difference in Hz.

As an example; for the default values (ΔΦ = 30°, ΔF = 0.1 Hz), the time while the angle between the two voltages will be
less than the set value is:
1 1
T = ------------------------------- - = 1.66 sec.

If one or both sources are de-energized, the synchrocheck programming can allow for closing of the circuit breaker using
undervoltage control to by-pass the synchrocheck measurements (Dead Source function).
• SYNCHK1 V1 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V1 (see NOTES below).
• SYNCHK1 V2 SOURCE: This setting selects the source for voltage V2, which must not be the same as used for the
V1 (see NOTES below).
• SYNCHK1 MAX VOLT DIFF: This setting selects the maximum primary voltage difference in ‘kV’ between the two
sources. A primary voltage magnitude difference between the two input voltages below this value is within the permis-
sible limit for synchronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX ANGLE DIFF: This setting selects the maximum angular difference in degrees between the two
sources. An angular difference between the two input voltage phasors below this value is within the permissible limit
for synchronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ DIFF: This setting selects the maximum frequency difference in ‘Hz’ between the two sources.
A frequency difference between the two input voltage systems below this value is within the permissible limit for syn-
chronism.
• SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS: This setting specifies the required hysteresis for the maximum frequency differ-
ence condition. The condition becomes satisfied when the frequency difference becomes lower than SYNCHK1 MAX
FREQ DIFF. Once the Synchrocheck element has operated, the frequency difference must increase above the SYNCHK1
5 MAX FREQ DIFF + SYNCHK1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS sum to drop out (assuming the other two conditions, voltage and
angle, remain satisfied).
• SYNCHK1 DEAD SOURCE SELECT: This setting selects the combination of dead and live sources that will by-pass
synchronism check function and permit the breaker to be closed when one or both of the two voltages (V1 or/and V2)
are below the maximum voltage threshold. A dead or live source is declared by monitoring the voltage level. Six
options are available:
None: Dead Source function is disabled
LV1 and DV2: Live V1 and Dead V2
DV1 and LV2: Dead V1 and Live V2
DV1 or DV2: Dead V1 or Dead V2
DV1 Xor DV2: Dead V1 exclusive-or Dead V2 (one source is Dead and the other is Live)
DV1 and DV2: Dead V1 and Dead V2
• SYNCHK1 DEAD V1 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V1 in 1 ‘pu’. Below this
magnitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Dead” or de-energized.
• SYNCHK1 DEAD V2 MAX VOLT: This setting establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for V2 in ‘pu’. Below this
magnitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Dead” or de-energized.
• SYNCHK1 LIVE V1 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V1 in ‘pu’. Above this mag-
nitude, the V1 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Live” or energized.
• SYNCHK1 LIVE V2 MIN VOLT: This setting establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for V2 in ‘pu’. Above this mag-
nitude, the V2 voltage input used for synchrocheck will be considered “Live” or energized.

NOTES ON THE SYNCHROCHECK FUNCTION:

1. The selected sources for synchrocheck inputs V1 and V2 (which must not be the same source) may include both a
three-phase and an auxiliary voltage. The relay will automatically select the specific voltages to be used by the synch-
rocheck element in accordance with the following table.
NO. V1 OR V2 V2 OR V1 AUTO-SELECTED AUTO-SELECTED VOLTAGE

(SOURCE Y) (SOURCE Z) COMBINATION
SOURCE Y SOURCE Z
1 Phase VTs and Phase VTs and Phase Phase VAB
Auxiliary VT Auxiliary VT
2 Phase VTs and Phase VT Phase Phase VAB
Auxiliary VT
3 Phase VT Phase VT Phase Phase VAB
4 Phase VT and Auxiliary VT Phase Auxiliary V auxiliary
Auxiliary VT (as set for Source z)
5 Auxiliary VT Auxiliary VT Auxiliary Auxiliary V auxiliary
(as set for selected sources)
The voltages V1 and V2 will be matched automatically so that the corresponding voltages from the two sources will be
used to measure conditions. A phase to phase voltage will be used if available in both sources; if one or both of the
Sources have only an auxiliary voltage, this voltage will be used. For example, if an auxiliary voltage is programmed to
VAG, the synchrocheck element will automatically select VAG from the other source. If the comparison is required on a
specific voltage, the user can externally connect that specific voltage to auxiliary voltage terminals and then use this
"Auxiliary Voltage" to check the synchronism conditions.
If using a single CT/VT module with both phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage, ensure that only the auxiliary voltage 5
is programmed in one of the sources to be used for synchrocheck.
Exception: Synchronism cannot be checked between Delta connected phase VTs and a Wye con-
nected auxiliary voltage.
NOTE
2. The relay measures frequency and Volts/Hz from an input on a given source with priorities as established by the con-
figuration of input channels to the source. The relay will use the phase channel of a three-phase set of voltages if pro-
grammed as part of that source. The relay will use the auxiliary voltage channel only if that channel is programmed as
part of the Source and a three-phase set is not.

CIRCUIT MONITORING APPLICATIONS:
Some versions of the digital input modules include an active voltage monitor circuit connected across Form-A contacts. The
voltage monitor circuit limits the trickle current through the output circuit (see technical specifications for Form-A).

As long as the current through the Voltage Monitor is above a threshold (see technical specifications for Form-A), the Flex-
Logic™ operand "Cont Op # VOn" will be set (# represents the output contact number). If the output circuit has a high resis-
tance or the DC current is interrupted, the trickle current will drop below the threshold and the FlexLogic™ operand "Cont
Op # VOff" will be set. Consequently, the state of these operands can be used as indicators of the integrity of the circuits in
which Form-A contacts are inserted.
EXAMPLE 1: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING
In many applications it is desired to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity so problems can be detected before a trip oper-
ation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the voltage monitor connected across the trip output contact
detects a low level of current, well below the operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resis-
tance, the trickle current will fall below the monitor threshold and an alarm would be declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact which is open when the
breaker is open (see diagram below). To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must
include the breaker position.

EXAMPLE 2: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING

If it is required to monitor the trip circuit continuously, independent of the breaker position (open or closed), a method to
maintain the monitoring current flow through the trip circuit when the breaker is open must be provided (as shown in the fig-
ure below). This can be achieved by connecting a suitable resistor (see figure below) across the auxiliary contact in the trip
circuit. In this case, it is not required to supervise the monitoring circuit with the breaker position – the BLOCK setting is

There are 8 identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions from
Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of an
external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
• COUNTER 1 UNITS: Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted.
The units label will appear in the corresponding actual values status.
• COUNTER 1 PRESET: Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case
where a substitute relay is to be installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
• COUNTER 1 COMPARE: Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic™ output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is ‘more than (HI)’, ‘equal to (EQL)’, or ‘less than (LO)’ the set
value.
• COUNTER 1 UP: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for incrementing the counter. If an enabled UP input is received
when the accumulated value is at the limit of +2,147,483,647 counts, the counter will rollover to –2,147,483,648.
• COUNTER 1 DOWN: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for decrementing the counter. If an enabled DOWN input is
received when the accumulated value is at the limit of –2,147,483,648 counts, the counter will rollover to
+2,147,483,647.
• COUNTER 1 BLOCK: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for blocking the counting operation. All counter operands are
blocked.

• CNT1 SET TO PRESET: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand used to set the count to the preset value. The counter will
be set to the preset value in the following situations:
1. When the counter is enabled and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 1 (when the counter is enabled
and CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand is 0, the counter will be set to 0).
2. When the counter is running and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand changes the state from 0 to 1 (CNT1 SET TO
PRESET changing from 1 to 0 while the counter is running has no effect on the count).
3. When a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value
1 (when a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the
value 0, the counter will be set to 0).
• COUNTER 1 RESET: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for setting the count to either “0” or the preset value depending
on the state of the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand.
• COUNTER 1 FREEZE/RESET: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value
into a separate register with the date and time of the operation, and resetting the count to “0”.
• COUNTER 1 FREEZE/COUNT: Selects the FlexLogic™ operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value
into a separate register with the date and time of the operation, and continuing counting. The present accumulated
value and captured frozen value with the associated date/time stamp are available as actual values. If control power is
interrupted, the accumulated and frozen values are saved into non-volatile memory during the power down operation.

There is one Breaker Arcing Current element available per CT bank, with a minimum of 2 elements. This element calcu-
lates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing
through the breaker contacts as an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals for each phase and com-
pared to a programmed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand
to “1”. The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.
The operation of the scheme is shown in the following logic diagram. The same output operand that is selected to operate
the output relay used to trip the breaker, indicating a tripping sequence has begun, is used to initiate this feature. A time
delay is introduced between initiation and the starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the
breaker before the contacts have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary
relays and the breaker mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, the interval between change-of-state of the
operand (from 0 to 1) and contact separation should be measured for the specific installation. Integration of the measured
current continues for 100 ms, which is expected to include the total arcing period.
The feature is programmed to perform fault duration calculations. Fault duration is defined as a time between operation of
the disturbance detector occurring before initiation of this feature, and reset of an internal low-set overcurrent function. Cor-
rection is implemented to account for a non-zero reset time of the overcurrent function.
Breaker arcing currents and fault duration values are available under the ACTUAL VALUES RECORDS MAINTENANCE
BREAKER 1(4) menus.
• BKR 1(4) ARC AMP INT-A(C): Select the same output operands that are configured to operate the output relays used
to trip the breaker. In three-pole tripping applications, the same operand should be configured to initiate arcing current
calculations for poles A, B and C of the breaker. In single-pole tripping applications, per-pole tripping operands should
be configured to initiate the calculations for the poles that are actually tripped.
• BKR 1(4) ARC AMP DELAY: This setting is used to program the delay interval between the time the tripping sequence
is initiated and the time the breaker contacts are expected to part, starting the integration of the measured current.

The detection of the breaker flashover is based on the following condition:

1. Breaker open,
2. Voltage drop measured from either side of the breaker during the flashover period,
3. Voltage difference drop, and
4. Measured flashover current through the breaker.
Furthermore, the scheme is applicable for cases where either one or two sets of three-phase voltages are available across
the breaker.
THREE VT BREAKER FLASHOVER APPLICATION
When only one set of VTs is available across the breaker, the BRK FLSHOVR SIDE 2 SRC setting should be “None”. To detect
an open breaker condition in this application, the scheme checks if the per-phase voltages were recovered (picked up), the 5
status of the breaker is open (contact input indicating the breaker status is off), and no flashover current is flowing. A con-
tact showing the breaker status must be provided to the relay. The voltage difference will not be considered as a condition
for open breaker in this part of the logic.
Voltages must be present prior to flashover conditions. If the three VTs are placed after the breaker on the
line (or feeder), and the downstream breaker is open, the measured voltage would be zero and the flash-
NOTE
over element will not be initiated.
The flashover detection will reset if the current drops back to zero, the breaker closes, or the selected FlexLogic™ operand
for supervision changes to high. Using supervision through the BRK FLSHOVR SPV setting is recommended by selecting a
trip operand that will not allow the flashover element to pickup prior to the trip.
The flashover detection can be used for external alarm, re-tripping the breaker, or energizing the lockout relay.
Consider the following configuration:
Bus
CTs Breaker
Line/Feeder
Bus VTs
842746A1.CDR
The source 1 (SRC1) phase currents are feeder CTs and phase voltages are bus VTs, and Contact Input 1 is set as Breaker
52a contact. The conditions prior to flashover detection are:
1. 52a status = 0
2. VAg, VBg, or VCg is greater than the pickup setting
3. IA, IB, IC = 0; no current flows through the breaker
4. ΔVA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme)

The conditions at flashover detection are:

1. 52a status = 0
2. VAg, VBg, or VCg is lower than the pickup setting
3. IA, IB, or IC is greater than the pickup current flowing through the breaker
4. ΔVA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme)
SIX VT BREAKER FLASHOVER APPLICATION
The per-phase voltage difference approaches zero when the breaker is closed. The is well below any typical minimum
pickup voltage. Select the level of the BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP setting to be less than the voltage difference measured
across the breaker when the close or open breaker resistors are left in service. Prior to flashover, the voltage difference is
larger than BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP (applies to either the difference between two live voltages per phase or when the
voltage from one side of the breaker has dropped to zero – line de-energized), at least one per-phase voltage is larger than
the BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR V PKP setting, and no current flows through the breaker poles. During breaker flashover, the per-
phase voltages from both sides of the breaker drops below the pickup value defined by the BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR V PKP setting,
the voltage difference drops below the pickup setting, and flashover current is detected. These flashover conditions initiate
FlexLogic™ pickup operands and start the BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR PKP DELAY timer.
This application do not require detection of breaker status via a 52a contact, as it uses a voltage difference larger than the
BRK 1(2) FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP setting. However, monitoring the breaker contact will ensure scheme stability.
Consider the following configuration:
Bus
CTs Breaker
Line/Feeder
5
VTs
VTs
842745A1.CDR
The source 1 (SRC1) phase currents are CTs and phase voltages are bus VTs. The source 2 (SRC2) phase voltages are
line VTs. Contact Input 1 is set as Breaker 52a contact (optional).
The conditions prior to flashover detection are:
1. ΔVA is greater than pickup
2. VAg, VBg, or VCg is greater than the pickup setting
3. IA, IB, IC = 0; no current flows through the breaker
4. 52a status = 0 (optional)
The conditions at flashover detection are:
1. ΔVA is less than pickup
2. VAg, VBg, or VCg is lower than the pickup setting
3. IA, IB, or IC is greater than the pickup current flowing through the breaker
4. 52a status = 0 (optional)
The element is operational only when phase-to-ground voltages are connected to relay terminals. The
flashover element will not operate if delta voltages are applied.
NOTE
The Breaker Flashover settings are described below.

• BRK FLSHOVR SIDE 1 SRC: This setting specifies a signal source used to provide three-phase voltages and three-
phase currents from one side of the current breaker. The source selected as a setting and must be configured with
breaker phase voltages and currents, even if only 3 VTs are available across the breaker.

• BRK FLSHOVR SIDE 2 SRC: This setting specifies a signal source used to provide another set of three phase volt-
ages whenever six (6) VTs are available across the breaker.
• BRK STATUS CLSD A(C): These settings specify FlexLogic™ operands to indicate the open status of the breaker. A
separate FlexLogic™ operand can be selected to detect individual breaker pole status and provide flashover detection.
The recommended setting is 52a breaker contact or another operand defining the breaker poles open status.
• BRK FLSHOVR V PKP: This setting specifies a pickup level for the phase voltages from both sides of the breaker. If 6
VTs are available, opening the breaker leads to two possible combinations – live voltages from only one side of the
breaker, or live voltages from both sides of the breaker. Either case will set the scheme ready for flashover detection
upon detection of voltage above the selected value. Set BRK FLSHOVR V PKP to 85 to 90% of the nominal voltage.
• BRK FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP: This setting specifies a pickup level for the phase voltage difference when two VTs per
phase are available across the breaker. The pickup voltage difference should be below the monitored voltage differ-
ence when close or open breaker resistors are left in service. The setting is selected as primary volts difference
between the sources.
• BRK FLSHOVR AMP PKP: This setting specifies the normal load current which can flow through the breaker.
Depending on the flashover protection application, the flashover current can vary from levels of the charging current
when the line is de-energized (all line breakers open), to well above the maximum line (feeder) load (line/feeder con-
nected to load).
• BRK FLSHOVR SPV A(C): This setting specifies a FlexLogic™ operand (per breaker pole) that supervises the opera-
tion of the element per phase. Supervision can be provided by operation of other protection elements, breaker failure,
and close and trip commands. A 6-cycle time delay applies after the selected FlexLogic™ operand resets.
• BRK FLSHOVR PKP DELAY: This setting specifies the time delay to operate after a pickup condition is detected.

The Continuous Monitor logic is intended to detect the operation of any tripping element that has operated under normal
load conditions; that is, when the DD disturbance detector has not operated. Because all tripping is supervised by the DD
function, no trip will be issued under these conditions. This could occur when an element is incorrectly set so that it may
misoperate under load. The Continuous Monitor can detect this state and issue an alarm and/or block the tripping of the
5 relay.

The CT Failure function is designed to detect problems with the system current transformers used to supply current to the
relay. This logic detects the presence of a zero sequence current at the supervised source of current without a simulta-
neous zero-sequence current at another source, zero-sequence voltage or some protection element condition.
The CT Failure logic (see figure below) is based on the presence of the zero sequence current in the supervised CT source
and absence of one of three or all three conditions as follows:
1. Zero sequence current at different source current (may be different set of CTs or different CT core of the same CT).
2. Zero sequence voltage at the assigned source.
3. Appropriate protection element or remote signal.
The CT Failure settings are described below.
• CT FAIL FUNCTION: This setting is used to Enable/Disable operation of the element.
• CT FAIL BLOCK: This setting is used to select a FlexLogic™ operand that blocks operation of the element during
some conditions (i.e. open pole in process of the single pole tripping-reclosing) when CT Fail should be blocked.
Remote signals representing operation of some remote current protection elements via communication channel or
local ones can be chosen as well.
• CT FAIL 3I0 INPUT 1: This setting is used to select the source for the current for Input 1. Most important protection
element of the relay should be assigned to the same source.
• CT FAIL 3I0 INPUT 1 PICKUP: This setting is used to select the pickup value for 3I_0 for Input 1 (main supervised CT
source) of the relay.
• CT FAIL 3I0 INPUT 2: This setting is used to select the source for the current for Input 2. Input 2 should use different
set of CTs or different CT core of the same CT. Against absence at Input 2 CT source (if exists), 3I_0 current logic is
built.

• CT FAIL 3I0 INPUT 2 PICKUP: This setting is used to select the pickup value for 3I_0 for the Input 2 (different CT
input) of the relay.
• CT FAIL 3V0 INPUT: This setting is used to select the source for the voltage.
• CT FAIL 3V0 INPUT PICKUP: This setting is used to select the pickup value for 3V_0 source.
• CT FAIL PICKUP DELAY: This setting is used to select the pickup delay of the element.

VT FUSE FAILURE 1 VT FUSE FAILURE 1 Range: Disabled, Enabled

FUNCTION: Disabled
Every signal source includes a fuse failure scheme.

The VT fuse failure detector can be used to raise an alarm and/or block elements that may operate incorrectly for a full or
partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses. Some elements that might be blocked (via the BLOCK
input) are distance, voltage restrained overcurrent, and directional current.
There are two classes of fuse failure that may occur:
Class A: Loss of one or two phases.
Class B: Loss of all three phases.
Different means of detection are required for each class. An indication of Class A failures is a significant level of negative
sequence voltage, whereas an indication of Class B failures is when positive sequence current is present and there is an
insignificant amount of positive sequence voltage. These noted indications of fuse failure could also be present when faults
are present on the system, so a means of detecting faults and inhibiting fuse failure declarations during these events is pro-
vided. Once the fuse failure condition is declared, it will be sealed-in until the cause that generated it disappears.
An additional condition is introduced to inhibit a fuse failure declaration when the monitored circuit is de-energized; positive
sequence voltage and current are both below threshold levels.
The VT FUSE FAILURE 1(2) FUNCTION setting enables/disables the fuse failure feature for each source.

This scheme is intended for two-terminal line applications only. It uses an over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to essen-
tially compare the direction to a fault at both the ends of the line. Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the
relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This pro-
vides increased coverage for high-resistance faults.
For proper scheme operation, the Zone 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured, and set per
the rules of distance relaying. The Line Pickup element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect line-end-
open/weak-infeed conditions. If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be
enabled, configured, and set accordingly.
• POTT PERMISSIVE ECHO: If set to "Enabled" this setting will result in sending a permissive echo signal to the remote
end. The permissive signal is echoed back upon receiving a reliable POTT RX signal from the remote end while the
line-end-open condition is identified by the Line Pickup logic. The Permissive Echo is programmed as a one-shot logic.
The echo is sent only once and then the echo logic locks out for a settable period of time (ECHO LOCKOUT setting). The
duration of the echo pulse does not depend on the duration or shape of the received POTT RX signal but is settable as
ECHO DURATION.
• POTT RX PICKUP DELAY: This setting enables the relay to cope with spurious receive signals. The delay should be
set longer than the longest spurious TX signal that can occur simultaneously with the zone 2 pickup. The selected
delay will increase the response time of the scheme.
• TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY: This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the POTT
scheme for coping with the exposure of a ground directional overcurrent function (if used) to current reversal condi-
tions. The transient blocking mechanism applies to the ground overcurrent path only as the reach settings for the zone
2 distance functions is not expected to be long for two-terminal applications, and the security of the distance functions
is not endangered by the current reversal conditions. Upon receiving the POTT RX signal, the transient blocking mech-
anism allows the RX signal to be passed and aligned with the GND DIR O/C FWD indication only for a period of time

defined as TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY. After that the ground directional overcurrent path will be virtually disabled for a
period of time specified as TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY.
The TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY should be long enough to give the selected ground directional overcurrent function
time to operate, but not longer than the fastest possible operation time of the protection system that can create current
reversal conditions within the reach of the selected ground directional overcurrent function. This setting should take
into account the POTT RX PICKUP DELAY. The POTT RX signal is shaped for aligning with the ground directional indica-
tion as follows: the original RX signal is delayed by the POTT RX PICKUP DELAY, then terminated at TRANS BLOCK PICKUP
DELAY after the pickup of the original POTT TX signal, and eventually, locked-out for TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY.
• TRANS BLOCK RESET DELAY: This setting defines a transient blocking mechanism embedded in the POTT scheme
for coping with the exposure of a ground directional overcurrent function (if used) to current reversal conditions (see
also the TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY). This delay should be selected long enough to cope with transient conditions
including not only current reversals but also spurious negative- and zero-sequence currents occurring during breaker
operations. The breaker failure time of the surrounding protection systems within the reach of the ground directional
function used by the POTT scheme may be considered to make sure that the ground directional function is not jeopar-
dized during delayed breaker operations.
• ECHO DURATION: This setting defines the guaranteed and exact duration of the echo pulse. The duration does not
depend on the duration and shape of the received POTT RX signal. This setting enables the relay to avoid a perma-
nent lock-up of the transmit/receive loop.
• ECHO LOCKOUT: This setting defines the lockout period for the echo logic after sending the echo pulse.
• LINE END OPEN PICKUP DELAY: This setting defines the pickup setting for validation of the line end open conditions
as detected by the Line Pickup logic through the LINE PICKUP LEO PKP FlexLogic™ operand. The validated line end
open condition is a requirement for the POTT scheme to return a received echo signal (if the ECHO feature is
enabled). The value of this setting should take into account the principle of operation and settings of the LINE PICKUP
element.
5
• POTT SEAL-IN DELAY: The output FlexLogic™ operand (POTT OP) is produced according to the POTT scheme
logic. A seal-in time delay is applied to this operand for coping with noisy communication channels. The POTT SEAL-
IN DELAY defines a minimum guaranteed duration of the POTT OP pulse.
• GND DIR O/C FWD: This setting defines the FlexLogic™ operand (if any) of a protection element used in addition to
Zone 2 for identifying faults on the protected line, and thus, for keying the communication channel and initiating opera-
tion of the scheme. Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching forward-looking protection
element used as GND DIR O/C FWD. Even though any FlexLogic™ operand could be used as GND DIR O/C FWD allowing
the user to combine responses of various protection elements, or to apply extra conditions through FlexLogic™ equa-
tions, this extra signal is primarily meant to be the output operand from either the Negative-Sequence Directional IOC
or Neutral Directional IOC. Both of these elements have separate forward (FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands.
The forward indication should be used (NEG SEQ DIR OC1 FWD or NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD).
• POTT RX: This setting enables the user to select the FlexLogic™ operand that represents the receive signal (RX) for
the scheme. Typically an input contact interfacing with a signaling system is used. Other choices include Remote
Inputs and FlexLogic™ equations. The POTT transmit signal (TX) should be appropriately interfaced with the signaling
system by assigning the output FlexLogic™ operand (POTT TX) to an output contact. The Remote Output mechanism
is another choice.
The output operand from the scheme (POTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output
contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be pro-
grammed to initiate a trip, breaker fail, and autoreclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

The autoreclose scheme is intended for use on transmission lines with circuit breakers operated in both the single pole and
three pole modes, in one or two breaker arrangements. The autoreclose scheme provides four programs with different
operating cycles, depending on the fault type. Each of the four programs can be set to trigger up to two reclosing attempts.
The second attempt always performs three pole reclosing and has an independent dead time delay.
When used in two breaker applications, the reclosing sequence is selectable. The reclose signal can be sent to one
selected breaker only, to both breakers simultaneously or to both breakers in sequence (one breaker first and then, after a
delay to check that the reclose was successful, to the second breaker). When reclosing in sequence, the first breaker
should reclose with either the 1-Pole or 3-Pole dead time according to the fault type and reclose mode; the second breaker
should follow the successful reclosure of the first breaker. When reclosing simultaneously, for the first shot both breakers
should reclose with either the 1-Pole or 3-Pole dead time, according to the fault type and the reclose mode.
The signal used to initiate the autoreclose scheme is the trip output from protection. This signal can be single pole tripping
for single phase faults and three phase tripping for multiphase faults. The autoreclose scheme has five operating states.
STATE CHARACTERISTICS
Enabled Scheme is permitted to operate
Disabled Scheme is not permitted to operate
Reset Scheme is permitted to operate and shot count is reset to 0
Reclose In Progress Scheme has been initiated but the reclose cycle is not finished (successful or not)
Lockout Scheme is not permitted to operate until reset received

AR PROGRAMS:
The autorecloser provides four programs that can cause from one to four reclose attempts (shots). After the first shot, all
subsequent recloses will always be three-pole. If the maximum number of shots selected is “1” (only one reclose attempt)
and the fault is persistent, after the first reclose the scheme will go to Lockout upon another Initiate signal.
For the 3-pole reclose programs (modes 3 and 4), an AR FORCE 3-P FlexLogic™ operand is set. This operand can be used
in connection with the tripping logic to cause a three-pole trip for single-phase faults.

The four autoreclose modes are described below:

1. “1 & 3 Pole”: In this mode, the autorecloser starts the AR 1-P DEAD TIME timer for the first shot if the autoreclose is sin-
gle-phase initiated, the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 timer if the autoreclose is three-pole initiated, and the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2
timer if the autoreclose is three-phase time delay initiated. If two or more shots are enabled, the second, third, and
fourth shots are always three-pole and start the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2(4) timers. 5
2. “1 Pole”: In this mode, the autorecloser starts the AR 1-P DEAD TIME for the first shot if the fault is single phase. If the
fault is three-phase or a three-pole trip on the breaker occurred during the single-pole initiation, the scheme goes to
lockout without reclosing. If two or more shots are enabled, the second, third, and fourth shots are always three-pole
and start the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2(4) timers.
3. “3 Pole-A”: In this mode, the autorecloser is initiated only for single phase faults, although the trip is three pole. The
autorecloser uses the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 for the first shot if the fault is single phase. If the fault is multi phase the
scheme will go to Lockout without reclosing. If two or more shots are enabled, the second, third, and fourth shots are
always three-phase and start the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2(4) timers.
4. “3 Pole-B”: In this mode, the autorecloser is initiated for any type of fault and starts the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 for the first
shot. If the initiating signal is AR 3P TD INIT the scheme starts AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 for the first shot. If two or more shots
are enabled, the second, third, and fourth shots are always three-phase and start the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2(4) timers.
BASIC RECLOSING OPERATION:
Reclosing operation is determined primarily by the AR MODE and AR BKR SEQUENCE settings. The reclosing sequences are
started by the initiate inputs. A reclose initiate signal will send the scheme into the reclose-in-progress (RIP) state, asserting
the AR RIP FlexLogic™ operand. The scheme is latched into the RIP state and resets only when an AR CLS BKR 1 (autore-
close breaker 1) or AR CLS BKR 2 (autoreclose breaker 2) operand is generated or the scheme goes to the Lockout state.
The dead time for the initial reclose operation will be determined by either the AR 1-P DEAD TIME, AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1, or AR
3-P DEAD TIME 2 setting, depending on the fault type and the mode selected. After the dead time interval the scheme will
assert the AR CLOSE BKR 1 or AR CLOSE BKR 2 operands, as determined by the sequence selected. These operands are
latched until the breaker closes or the scheme goes to Reset or Lockout.
There are three initiate programs: single pole initiate, three pole initiate and three pole, time delay initiate. Any of these
reclose initiate signals will start the reclose cycle and set the reclose-in-progress (AR RIP) operand. The reclose-in-progress
operand is sealed-in until the Lockout or Reset signal appears.
The three-pole initiate and three-pole time delay initiate signals are latched until the CLOSE BKR1 OR BKR2 or Lockout or
Reset signal appears.

AR PAUSE:
The pause input offers the possibility of freezing the autoreclose cycle until the pause signal disappears. This may be done
when a trip occurs and simultaneously or previously, some conditions are detected such as out-of step or loss of guard fre-
quency, or a remote transfer trip signal is received. The pause signal blocks all three dead timers. When the ‘pause’ signal
disappears the autoreclose cycle is resumed by initiating AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2.
This feature can be also used when a transformer is tapped from the protected line and a reclose is not desirable until the
transformer is removed from the line. In this case, the reclose scheme is ‘paused’ until the transformer is disconnected. The
AR PAUSE input will force a three-pole trip through the 3-P DEADTIME 2 path.
EVOLVING FAULTS:
1.25 cycles after the single pole dead time has been initiated, the AR FORCE 3P TRIP operand is set and it will be reset only
when the scheme is reset or goes to Lockout. This will ensure that when a fault on one phase evolves to include another
phase during the single pole dead time of the auto-recloser the scheme will force a 3 pole trip and reclose.
RECLOSING SCHEME OPERATION FOR ONE BREAKER:
• Permanent Fault: Consider Mode 1, which calls for 1-Pole or 3-Pole Time Delay 1 for the first reclosure and 3-Pole
Time Delay 2 for the second reclosure, and assume a permanent fault on the line. Also assume the scheme is in the
Reset state. For the first single-phase fault the AR 1-P DEAD TIME timer will be started, while for the first multi-phase fault
the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1 timer will be started. If the AR 3P TD INIT signal is high, the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 will be started for
the first shot.
If AR MAX NO OF SHOTS is set to “1”, upon the first reclose the shot counter is set to 1. Upon reclosing, the fault is again
detected by protection and reclose is initiated. The breaker is tripped three-pole through the AR SHOT COUNT >0 oper-
and that will set the AR FORCE 3P operand. Because the shot counter has reached the maximum number of shots per-
mitted the scheme is sent to the Lockout state.
5 If AR MAX NO OF SHOTS is set to “2”, upon the first reclose the shot counter is set to 1. Upon reclosing, the fault is again
detected by protection and reclose is initiated. The breaker is tripped three-pole through the AR SHOT COUNT >0 oper-
and that will set the AR FORCE 3P operand. After the second reclose the shot counter is set to 2. Upon reclosing, the
fault is again detected by protection, the breaker is tripped three-pole, and reclose is initiated again. Because the shot
counter has reached the maximum number of shots permitted the scheme is sent to the lockout state.
• Transient Fault: When a reclose output signal is sent to close the breaker the reset timer is started. If the reclosure
sequence is successful (there is no initiating signal and the breaker is closed) the reset timer will time out returning the
scheme to the reset state with the shot counter set to "0" making it ready for a new reclose cycle.
RECLOSING SCHEME OPERATION FOR TWO BREAKERS:
• Permanent Fault: The general method of operation is the same as that outlined for the one breaker applications
except for the following description, which assumes AR BKR SEQUENCE is “1-2” (reclose Breaker 1 before Breaker 2)
The signal output from the dead time timers passes through the breaker selection logic to initiate reclosing of Breaker
1. The Close Breaker 1 signal will initiate the Transfer Timer. After the reclose of the first breaker the fault is again
detected by the protection, the breaker is tripped three pole and the autoreclose scheme is initiated. The Initiate signal
will stop the transfer timer. After the 3-P dead time times out the Close Breaker 1 signal will close first breaker again
and will start the transfer timer. Since the fault is permanent the protection will trip again initiating the autoreclose
scheme that will be sent to Lockout by the SHOT COUNT = MAX signal.
• Transient Fault: When the first reclose output signal is sent to close Breaker 1, the reset timer is started. The close
Breaker 1 signal initiates the transfer timer that times out and sends the close signal to the second breaker. If the reclo-
sure sequence is successful (both breakers closed and there is no initiating signal) the reset timer will time out, return-
ing the scheme to the reset state with the shot counter set to 0. The scheme will be ready for a new reclose cycle.
AR BKR1(2) RECLS FAIL:
If the selected sequence is “1–2” or “2–1” and after the first or second reclose attempt the breaker fails to close, there are
two options. If the AR BKR 1(2) FAIL OPTION is set to “Lockout”, the scheme will go to lockout state. If the AR BKR 1(2) FAIL
OPTION is set to “Continue”, the reclose process will continue with Breaker 2. At the same time the shot counter will be
decreased (since the closing process was not completed).

SCHEME RESET AFTER RECLOSURE:

When a reclose output signal is sent to close either breaker 1 or 2 the reset timer is started. If the reclosure sequence is
successful (there is no initiating signal and the breakers are closed) the reset timer will time out, returning the scheme to
the reset state, with the shot counter set to 0, making it ready for a new reclose cycle.
In two breaker schemes, if one breaker is in the out-of-service state and the other is closed at the end of the reset time, the
scheme will also reset. If at the end of the reset time at least one breaker, which is not in the out-of-service state, is open
the scheme will be sent to Lockout.
The reset timer is stopped if the reclosure sequence is not successful: an initiating signal present or the scheme is in Lock-
out state. The reset timer is also stopped if the breaker is manually closed or the scheme is otherwise reset from lockout.
LOCKOUT:
When a reclose sequence is started by an initiate signal the scheme moves into the reclose-in-progress state and starts the
incomplete sequence timer. The setting of this timer determines the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose
shot. If a close breaker 1 or 2 signal is not present before this time expires, the scheme goes to “Lockout”.
There are four other conditions that can take the scheme to the Lockout state, as shown below:
• Receipt of ‘Block’ input while in the reclose-in-progress state
• The reclosing program logic: when a 3P Initiate is present and the autoreclose mode is either 1 Pole or 3Pole-A (3 pole
autoreclose for single pole faults only)
• Initiation of the scheme when the count is at the maximum allowed
• If at the end of the reset time at least one breaker, which is not in the out-of-service state, is open the scheme will be
sent to Lockout. The scheme will be also sent to Lockout if one breaker fails to reclose and the setting AR BKR FAIL
OPTION is set to “Lockout”.
Once the Lockout state is set it will be latched until one or more of the following occurs: 5
• The scheme is intentionally reset from Lockout, employing the Reset setting of the Autorecloser;
• The Breaker(s) is(are) manually closed from panel switch, SCADA or other remote control through the AR BRK MAN
CLOSE setting;
• 10 seconds after breaker control detects that breaker(s) were closed.

BREAKER OPEN BEFORE FAULT:
A logic circuit is provided that inhibits the Close Breaker 1(2) output if a reclose initiate (RIP) indicator is not present within
30 ms of the Breaker Any Phase Open input. This feature is intended to prevent reclosing if one of the breakers was open
in advance of a reclose initiate input to the recloser. This logic circuit resets when the breaker is closed.
TRANSFER RECLOSE WHEN BREAKER IS BLOCKED:
1. When the reclosing sequence 1-2 is selected and Breaker 1 is blocked (AR BKR1 BLK operand is set) the reclose signal
can be transferred direct to the Breaker 2 if AR TRANSFER 1 TO 2 is set to “Yes”. If set to “No”, the scheme will be sent to
Lockout by the incomplete sequence timer.
2. When the reclosing sequence 2-1 is selected and Breaker 2 is blocked (AR BKR2 BLK operand is set) the reclose signal
can be transferred direct to the Breaker 1 if AR TRANSFER 2 TO 1 is set to “Yes”. If set to “No” the scheme will be sent to
Lockout by the incomplete sequence timer.
FORCE 3-POLE TRIPPING:
The reclosing scheme contains logic that is used to signal trip logic that three-pole tripping is required for certain conditions.
This signal is activated by any of the following:
• Autoreclose scheme is paused after it was initiated.
• Autoreclose scheme is in the Lockout state.
• Autoreclose mode is programmed for three-pole operation
• The shot counter is not at 0, i.e. the scheme is not in the reset state. This ensures a second trip will be three-pole when
reclosing onto a permanent single phase fault.
• 1.25 cycles after the single-pole reclose is initiated by the AR 1P INIT signal.

ZONE 1 EXTENT:
The Zone 1 extension philosophy here is to apply an overreaching zone permanently as long as the relay is ready to
reclose, and reduce the reach when reclosing. Another Zone 1 extension approach is to operate normally from an under-
reaching zone, and use an overreaching distance zone when reclosing the line with the other line end open. This philoso-
phy could be programmed via the Line Pickup scheme.
The “Extended Zone 1" is 0 when Autoreclose is in Lockout or Disabled and 1 when Autoreclose is in Reset.
1. When "Extended Zone 1" is 0, the distance functions shall be set to normal underreach Zone 1 setting.
2. When "Extended Zone 1" is 1, the distance functions may be set to Extended Zone 1 Reach, which is an overreaching
setting.
3. During a reclose cycle, "Extended Zone 1" goes to 0 as soon as the first CLOSE BREAKER signal is issued (AR SHOT
COUNT > 0) and remains 0 until the recloser goes back to Reset.
USE OF SETTINGS:
The single-phase autoreclose settings are described below.
• AR MODE: This setting selects the Autoreclose operating mode, which functions in conjunction with signals received
at the initiation inputs as described previously.
• AR MAX NUMBER OF SHOTS: This setting specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before reclo-
sure goes to Lockout when the fault is permanent.
• AR BLOCK BKR1: This input selects an operand that will block the reclose command for Breaker 1. This condition
can be for example: breaker low air pressure, reclose in progress on another line (for the central breaker in a breaker
and a half arrangement), or a sum of conditions combined in FlexLogic™.
• AR CLOSE TIME BKR1:This setting represents the closing time for the Breaker 1 from the moment the “Close” com-
5 mand is sent to the moment the contacts are closed.
• AR BKR MAN CLOSE: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that represents manual close command to a
breaker associated with the autoreclose scheme.
• AR BLK TIME UPON MAN CLS: The autoreclose scheme can be disabled for a programmable time delay after an
associated circuit breaker is manually commanded to close, preventing reclosing onto an existing fault such as
grounds on the line. This delay must be longer than the slowest expected trip from any protection not blocked after
manual closing. If the autoreclose scheme is not initiated after a manual close and this time expires the autoreclose
scheme is set to the Reset state.
• AR 1P INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that is intended to initiate single-pole autoreclosure.
• AR 3P INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that is intended to initiate three-pole autoreclosure, first timer
(AR 3P DEAD TIME 1) that can be used for a high-speed autoreclosure.
• AR 3P TD INIT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand intended to initiate three-pole autoreclosure. second timer
(AR 3P DEAD TIME 2) can be used for a time-delay autoreclosure.
• AR MULTI-P FAULT: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand that indicates a multi-phase fault. The operand value
should be zero for single-phase to ground faults.
• BKR ONE POLE OPEN: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which indicates that the breaker(s) has opened
correctly following a single phase to ground fault and the autoreclose scheme can start timing the single pole dead
time (for 1-2 reclose sequence for example, Breaker 1 should trip single pole and Breaker 2 should trip 3 pole).
The scheme has a pre-wired input that indicates breaker(s) status.
• BKR 3 POLE OPEN: This setting selects a FlexLogic™ operand which indicates that the breaker(s) has opened three
pole and the autoreclose scheme can start timing the three pole dead time. The scheme has a pre-wired input that indi-
cates breaker(s) status.
• AR 3-P DEAD TIME 1: This is the dead time following the first three pole trip. This intentional delay can be used for a
high-speed three-pole autoreclose. However, it should be set longer than the estimated de-ionizing time following the
three-pole trip.
• AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2: This is the dead time following the second three-pole trip or initiated by the AR 3P TD INIT input.
This intentional delay is typically used for a time delayed three-pole autoreclose (as opposed to high speed three-pole
autoreclose).

• AR 3-P DEAD TIME 3(4): These settings represent the dead time following the third(fourth) three-pole trip.
• AR EXTEND DEAD T 1: This setting selects an operand that will adapt the duration of the dead time for the first shot
to the possibility of non-simultaneous tripping at the two line ends. Typically this is the operand set when the communi-
cation channel is out of service
• AR DEAD TIME 1 EXTENSION: This timer is used to set the length of the dead time 1 extension for possible non-
simultaneous tripping of the two ends of the line.
• AR RESET: This setting selects the operand that forces the autoreclose scheme from any state to Reset. Typically this
is a manual reset from lockout, local or remote.
• AR RESET TIME: A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is
based on the breaker time which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
• AR BKR CLOSED: This setting selects an operand that indicates that the breaker(s) are closed at the end of the reset
time and the scheme can reset.
• AR BLOCK: This setting selects the operand that blocks the Autoreclose scheme (it can be a sum of conditions such
as: time delayed tripping, breaker failure, bus differential protection, etc.). If the block signal is present before autore-
close scheme initiation the AR DISABLED FlexLogic™ operand will be set. If the block signal occurs when the scheme
is in the RIP state the scheme will be sent to Lockout.
• AR PAUSE: The pause input offers the ability to freeze the autoreclose cycle until the pause signal disappears. This
may be done when a trip occurs and simultaneously or previously, some conditions are detected such as out-of step or
loss of guard frequency, or a remote transfer trip signal is received. When the ‘pause’ signal disappears the autore-
close cycle is resumed. This feature can also be used when a transformer is tapped from the protected line and a
reclose is not desirable until the it is disconnected from the line. In this situation, the reclose scheme is ‘paused’ until
the transformer is disconnected.
• AR INCOMPLETE SEQ TIME: This timer is used to set the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It
is started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active until the CLOSE BKR1 or CLOSE BKR2 signal is sent. If all con-
5
ditions allowing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to “Lockout”. The mini-
mum permissible setting is established by the AR 3-P DEAD TIME 2 timer setting. Settings beyond this will determine the
‘wait’ time for the breaker to open so that the reclose cycle can continue and/or for the AR PAUSE signal to reset and
allow the reclose cycle to continue and/or for the AR BKR1(2) BLK signal to disappear and allow the AR CLOSE BKR1(2)
signal to be sent.
• AR BLOCK BKR2: This input selects an operand that will block the reclose command for Breaker 2. This condition
can be for example: breaker low air pressure, reclose in progress on another line (for the central breaker in a breaker
and a half arrangement), or a sum of conditions combined in FlexLogic™.
• AR CLOSE TIME BKR2: This setting represents the closing time for the Breaker 2 from the moment the ‘Close’ com-
mand is sent to the moment the contacts are closed.
• AR TRANSFER 1 TO 2: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 1-2
and Breaker 1 is blocked. When set to “Yes” the closing command will be transferred direct to Breaker 2 without wait-
ing the transfer time. When set to “No” the closing command will be blocked by the AR BKR1 BLK signal and the
scheme will be sent to Lockout by the incomplete sequence timer.
• AR TRANSFER 2 TO 1: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 2-1
and Breaker 2 is blocked. When set to “Yes” the closing command will be transferred direct to Breaker 1 without wait-
ing the transfer time. When set to “No”, the closing command will be blocked by the AR BKR2 BLK signal and the
scheme will be sent to Lockout by the incomplete sequence timer.
• AR BKR1 FAIL OPTION: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 1-
2 and Breaker 1 has failed to close. When set to “Continue” the closing command will be transferred to Breaker 2
which will continue the reclosing cycle until successful (the scheme will reset) or unsuccessful (the scheme will go to
Lockout). When set to “Lockout” the scheme will go to lockout without attempting to reclose Breaker 2.
• AR BKR2 FAIL OPTION: This setting establishes how the scheme performs when the breaker closing sequence is 2-
1 and Breaker 2 has failed to close. When set to “Continue” the closing command will be transferred to Breaker 1
which will continue the reclosing cycle until successful (the scheme will reset) or unsuccessful (the scheme will go to
Lockout). When set to “Lockout” the scheme will go to lockout without attempting to reclose Breaker 1.
• AR 1-P DEAD TIME: Set this intentional delay longer than the estimated de-ionizing time after the first single-pole trip.

• AR BREAKER SEQUENCE: This setting selects the breakers reclose sequence: Select “1” for reclose breaker 1 only,
“2” for reclose breaker 2 only, “1&2” for reclose both breakers simultaneously, “1-2” for reclose breakers sequentially;
Breaker 1 first, and “2-1” for reclose breakers sequentially; Breaker 2 first.
• AR TRANSFER TIME: The transfer time is used only for breaker closing sequence 1-2 or 2-1, when the two breakers
are reclosed sequentially. The transfer timer is initiated by a close signal to the first breaker. The transfer timer trans-
fers the reclose signal from the breaker selected to close first to the second breaker. The time delay setting is based on
the maximum time interval between the autoreclose signal and the protection trip contact closure assuming a perma-
nent fault (unsuccessful reclose). Therefore, the minimum setting is equal to the maximum breaker closing time plus
the maximum line protection operating time plus a suitable margin. This setting will prevent the autoreclose scheme
from transferring the close signal to the second breaker unless a successful reclose of the first breaker occurs.

The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each group
of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules) which
contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID may be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The CON-
TACT IP X On” (Logic 1) FlexLogic™ operand corresponds to contact input “X” being closed, while CONTACT IP X Off corre-
sponds to contact input “X” being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to
overcome ‘contact bouncing’ conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maxi-
mum contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If CONTACT
INPUT EVENTS is set to “Enabled”, every change in the contact input state will trigger an event.
A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the figure below.
The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a user-
settable debounce time in order for the L90 to validate the new contact state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set
at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no. 1 in the diagram). Once validated (de-
bounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic™ operand and logs an event as per user setting.
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the con-
tact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic™ equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic™ operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the fig-
ure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions, as well
as FlexLogic™ equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.

5.7 INPUTS/OUTPUTS 5 SETTINGS
The FlexLogic™ operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one
protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs
just after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration of
the protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically a
delay of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is
below 1msec.
For example, 8 protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a con-
tact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic™ operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 μs accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 below). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the debounce
timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic™ operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the change.
The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks
no.1, 2, 3, and 4 in the figure below) and HIGH-LOW (marks no. 5, 6, 7, and 8 below) transitions.

Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value should be selected according to the following criteria: 17 for 24 V sources, 33 for 48 V sources, 84 for 110 to 125 V
sources and 166 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it in
the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT H5A ID: "Breaker Closed (52b)"
CONTACT INPUT H5A EVENTS: "Enabled"
Note that the 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.

There are 64 virtual inputs that can be individually programmed to respond to input signals from the keypad (Commands
menu) and communications protocols. All virtual input operands are defaulted to OFF = 0 unless the appropriate input sig-
nal is received. Virtual input states are preserved through a control power loss.
If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to “Disabled”, the input will be forced to 'Off' (Logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter
the input. If set to “Enabled”, the input operates as shown on the logic diagram and generates output FlexLogic™ operands
in response to received input signals and the applied settings.
There are two types of operation: Self-Reset and Latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x TYPE is “Self-Reset”, when the input signal
transits from OFF = 0 to ON = 1, the output operand will be set to ON = 1 for only one evaluation of the FlexLogic™ equa-
tions and then return to OFF = 0. If set to “Latched”, the virtual input sets the state of the output operand to the same state
as the most recent received input, ON =1 or OFF = 0.
The “Self-Reset” operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic™ 5
equations. If the operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic™ equation, it will
NOTE
likely have to be lengthened in time. A FlexLogic™ timer with a delayed reset can perform this function.

Upon startup of the relay, the main processor will determine from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and present the settings for only these outputs.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output may be any FlexLogic™
operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic™ operand may be used to
SEAL-IN the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A con-
tacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital Elements section). The monitor will set a flag (see the specifications for
Form-A). The name of the FlexLogic™ operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the
name of the flag; e.g. ‘Cont Op 1 IOn’ or ‘Cont Op 1 IOff’.
5 In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect oper-
ation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called ‘trip seal-in’.
This can be realized in the L90 using the ‘Cont Op 1 IOn’ FlexLogic™ operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID: “Cont Op 1"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE: any suitable FlexLogic™ operand
OUTPUT H1 SEAL-IN: “Cont Op 1 IOn”

The L90 latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and pop-
ulates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware
before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic™).
The latching output modules, either as a part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts opened. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching con-
tacts when replacing a module.
Since the relay asserts the output contact and reads back its position, it is possible to incorporate self-monitoring capabili-
ties for the latching outputs. If any latching outputs exhibits a discrepancy, the LATCHING OUTPUT ERROR self-test error is
declared. The error is signaled by the LATCHING OUT ERROR FlexLogic™ operand, event, and target message.
• OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: This setting specifies a FlexLogic™ operand to operate the ‘close coil’ of the contact. The
relay will seal-in this input to safely close the contact. Once the contact is closed and the RESET input is logic 0 (off),
any activity of the OPERATE input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and
RESET inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
• OUTPUT H1a RESET: This setting specifies a FlexLogic™ operand to operate the ‘trip coil’ of the contact. The relay
will seal-in this input to safely open the contact. Once the contact is opened and the OPERATE input is logic 0 (off), any
activity of the RESET input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET
inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
• OUTPUT H1a TYPE: This setting specifies the contact response under conflicting control inputs; that is, when both the
OPERATE and RESET signals are applied. With both control inputs applied simultaneously, the contact will close if set to
“Operate-dominant” and will open if set to “Reset-dominant”.
Application Example 1:
A latching output contact H1a is to be controlled from two user-programmable pushbuttons (buttons number 1 and 2). The 5
following settings should be applied.
Program the Latching Outputs by making the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUT-
PUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a menu (assuming an H4L module):
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: “PUSHBUTTON 1 ON”

OUTPUT H1a RESET: “PUSHBUTTON 2 ON”
Program the pushbuttons by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE PUSHBUT-
TONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 and USER PUSHBUTTON 2 menus:
PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: “Self-reset” PUSHBUTTON 2 FUNCTION: “Self-reset”

PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: “0.00 s” PUSHBTN 2 DROP-OUT TIME: “0.00 s”
A relay, having two latching contacts H1a and H1c, is to be programmed. The H1a contact is to be a Type-a contact, while
the H1c contact is to be a Type-b contact (Type-a means closed after exercising the operate input; Type-b means closed
after exercising the reset input). The relay is to be controlled from virtual outputs: VO1 to operate and VO2 to reset.
PUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a and CONTACT OUTPUT H1c menus (assuming an H4L module):
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: “VO1” OUTPUT H1c OPERATE: “VO2”

OUTPUT H1a RESET: “VO2” OUTPUT H1c RESET: “VO1”
Since the two physical contacts in this example are mechanically separated and have individual control inputs, they will not
operate at exactly the same time. A discrepancy in the range of a fraction of a maximum operating time may occur. There-
fore, a pair of contacts programmed to be a multi-contact relay will not guarantee any specific sequence of operation (such
as make before break). If required, the sequence of operation must be programmed explicitly by delaying some of the con-
trol inputs as shown in the next application example.
A make before break functionality must be added to the preceding example. An overlap of 20 ms is required to implement
this functionality as described below:

Write the following FlexLogic™ equation (EnerVista UR Setup example shown):
Both timers (Timer 1 and Timer 2) should be set to 20 ms pickup and 0 ms dropout.
PUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a and CONTACT OUTPUT H1c menus (assuming an H4L module):
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: “VO1” OUTPUT H1c OPERATE: “VO2”

OUTPUT H1a RESET: “VO4” OUTPUT H1c RESET: “VO3”
A latching contact H1a is to be controlled from a single virtual output VO1. The contact should stay closed as long as VO1
is high, and should stay opened when VO1 is low. Program the relay as follows.

There are 96 virtual outputs that may be assigned via FlexLogic™. If not assigned, the output will be forced to ‘OFF’ (Logic

FlexLogic™ equations. Any change of state of a virtual output can be logged as an event if programmed to do so.
For example, if Virtual Output 1 is the trip signal from FlexLogic™ and the trip relay is used to signal events, the settings
would be programmed as follows:
VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 ID: "Trip"

5.7.5 REMOTE DEVICES
a) REMOTE INPUTS/OUTPUTS OVERVIEW

Remote inputs and outputs provide a means of exchanging digital state information between Ethernet-networked devices.
The IEC 61850 GSSE (Generic Substation State Event) and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) stan-
dards are used.
The IEC 61850 specification requires that communications between devices be implemented on Ethernet.
For UR-series relays, Ethernet communications is provided only all CPU modules except type 9E.
NOTE
The sharing of digital point state information between GSSE/GOOSE equipped relays is essentially an extension to Flex-
Logic™, allowing distributed FlexLogic™ by making operands available to/from devices on a common communications net-
work. In addition to digital point states, GSSE/GOOSE messages identify the originator of the message and provide other
information required by the communication specification. All devices listen to network messages and capture data only from
messages that have originated in selected devices.
IEC 61850 GSSE messages are compatible with UCA GOOSE messages and contain a fixed set of digital points. IEC
61850 GOOSE messages can, in general, contain any configurable data items. When used by the remote input/output fea-
ture, IEC 61850 GOOSE messages contain the same data as GSSE messages.
Both GSSE and GOOSE messages are designed to be short, reliable, and high priority. GOOSE messages have additional
advantages over GSSE messages due to their support of VLAN (virtual LAN) and Ethernet priority tagging functionality.
The GSSE message structure contains space for 128 bit pairs representing digital point state information. The IEC 61850
specification provides 32 “DNA” bit pairs that represent the state of two pre-defined events and 30 user-defined events. All
remaining bit pairs are “UserSt” bit pairs, which are status bits representing user-definable events. The L90 implementation
provides 32 of the 96 available UserSt bit pairs.
The IEC 61850 specification includes features that are used to cope with the loss of communication between transmitting
and receiving devices. Each transmitting device will send a GSSE/GOOSE message upon a successful power-up, when
5
the state of any included point changes, or after a specified interval (the default update time) if a change-of-state has not
occurred. The transmitting device also sends a ‘hold time’ which is set greater than three times the programmed default
time required by the receiving device.
Receiving devices are constantly monitoring the communications network for messages they require, as recognized by the
identification of the originating device carried in the message. Messages received from remote devices include the mes-
sage time allowed to live. The receiving relay sets a timer assigned to the originating device to this time interval, and if it
has not received another message from this device at time-out, the remote device is declared to be non-communicating, so
it will use the programmed default state for all points from that specific remote device. If a message is received from a
remote device before the time allowed to live expires, all points for that device are updated to the states contained in the
message and the hold timer is restarted. The status of a remote device, where “Offline” indicates non-communicating, can
be displayed.
The remote input/output facility provides for 32 remote inputs and 64 remote outputs.
The L90 provides an additional method of sharing digital point state information among different relays: direct messages.
Direct messages are only used between UR-series relays inter-connected via dedicated type 7X communications modules,
usually between substations. The digital state data conveyed by direct messages are 'direct inputs' and 'direct outputs'.
b) DIRECT MESSAGES
Direct messages are only used between UR-series relays containing the 7X UR communications module (for example, the
L90). These messages are transmitted every one-half of the power frequency cycle (10 ms for 50 Hz and 8.33 ms for
60 Hz) This facility is of particular value for pilot schemes and transfer tripping. Direct messaging is available on both single
channel and dual channel communications modules. The inputs and outputs on communications channel No. 1 are num-
bered 1-1 through 1-8, and the inputs and outputs on communications channel No. 2 are numbered 2-1 through 2-8.
Settings associated with Direct Messages are automatically presented in accordance with the number of
channels provided in the communications module in a specific relay.
NOTE
c) LOCAL DEVICES: DEVICE ID FOR TRANSMITTING GSSE MESSAGES

In a L90 relay, the device ID that identifies the originator of the message is programmed in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP

The REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) VLAN ID and REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) ETYPE APPID settings are only used with GOOSE messages;
they are not applicable to GSSE messages. The REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) VLAN ID setting identifies the virtual LAN on which the
remote device is sending the GOOSE message. The REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) ETYPE APPID setting identifies the Ethernet appli-
cation identification in the GOOSE message. These settings should match the corresponding settings on the sending
device.

Remote Inputs which create FlexLogic™ operands at the receiving relay, are extracted from GSSE/GOOSE messages
originating in remote devices. The relay provides 32 remote inputs, each of which can be selected from a list consisting of
64 selections: DNA-1 through DNA-32 and UserSt-1 through UserSt-32. The function of DNA inputs is defined in the IEC
61850 specification and is presented in the IEC 61850 DNA Assignments table in the Remote Outputs section. The function
of UserSt inputs is defined by the user selection of the FlexLogic™ operand whose state is represented in the GSSE/
GOOSE message. A user must program a DNA point from the appropriate FlexLogic™ operand.
Remote Input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device for local
use. This programming is performed via the three settings shown above.
The REMOTE INPUT 1 ID setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the remote input. The REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE setting
selects the number (1 to 16) of the remote device which originates the required signal, as previously assigned to the remote
device via the setting REMOTE DEVICE NN ID (see the Remote Devices section). REMOTE IN 1 BIT PAIR selects the specific bits
of the GSSE/GOOSE message required.
The REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE setting selects the logic state for this point if the local relay has just completed startup or
the remote device sending the point is declared to be non-communicating. The following choices are available:
• Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “On” value defaults the input to Logic 1.
• Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Off” value defaults the input to Logic 0.

• Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/On” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is
not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to Logic 1.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.
• Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/Off” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is
not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to Logic 0.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.

5.7.8 DIRECT INPUTS/OUTPUTS
a) DESCRIPTION
The relay provides eight direct inputs conveyed on communications channel 1 (numbered 1-1 through 1-8) and eight direct
inputs conveyed on communications channel 2 (on three-terminal systems only, numbered 2-1 through 2-8). The user must
program the remote relay connected to channels 1 and 2 of the local relay by assigning the desired FlexLogic™ operand to
be sent via the selected communications channel.
This relay allows the user to create distributed protection and control schemes via dedicated communications channels.
Some examples are directional comparison pilot schemes and transfer tripping. It should be noted that failures of communi-
cations channels will affect direct input/output functionality. The 87L function must be enabled to utilize the direct inputs.
Direct input/output FlexLogic™ operands to be used at the local relay are assigned as follows:
Direct input/output 1-1 through direct input/output 1-8 for communications channel 1
Direct input/output 2-1 through direct input/output 2-8 for communications channel 2 (three-terminal systems only)
On the two-terminal, two channel system (redundant channel), direct inputs 1-1 to 1-8 are send over both channels
simultaneously and are received separately as direct outputs 1-1 to 1-8 at channel 1 and direct outputs 2-1 to 2-8 at
NOTE
channel 2. Therefore, to take advantage of redundancy, the respective operands from channel 1 and 2 can be
ORed with FlexLogic™ or mapped separately.

The DIRECT INPUT 1-1 DEFAULT setting selects the logic state of this particular bit used for this point if the local relay has just
completed startup or the local communications channel is declared to have failed. Setting DIRECT INPUT 1-X DEFAULT to "On"
means that the corresponding local FlexLogic™ operand (DIRECT I/P 1-x) will have logic state "1" on relay startup or dur-
ing communications channel failure. When the channel is restored, the operand logic state reflects the actual state of the
corresponding remote direct output.

Some events can be programmed to latch the faceplate LED event indicators and the target message on the display. Once
set, the latching mechanism will hold all of the latched indicators or messages in the set state after the initiating condition
has cleared until a RESET command is received to return these latches (not including FlexLogic™ latches) to the reset
state. The RESET command can be sent from the faceplate Reset button, a remote device via a communications channel,
or any programmed operand.
When the RESET command is received by the relay, two FlexLogic™ operands are created. These operands, which are
stored as events, reset the latches if the initiating condition has cleared. The three sources of RESET commands each cre-
ate the RESET OP FlexLogic™ operand. Each individual source of a RESET command also creates its individual operand
RESET OP (PUSHBUTTON), RESET OP (COMMS) or RESET OP (OPERAND) to identify the source of the command. The setting
shown above selects the operand that will create the RESET OP (OPERAND) operand.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external transducers and convert these signals into a digital for-
mat for use as required. The relay will accept inputs in the range of –1 to +20 mA DC, suitable for use with most common
transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Specific hardware details are con-
tained in Chapter 3.
Before the dcmA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
5 and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
dcmA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels
with the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclu-
sive, which is used as the channel number. The relay generates an actual value for each available input channel.
Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5F transducer module installed in slot H.
The function of the channel may be either “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If “Disabled”, no actual values are created for the chan-
nel. An alphanumeric “ID” is assigned to each channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual value, along with the
programmed units associated with the parameter measured by the transducer, such as volts, °C, megawatts, etc. This ID is
also used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. The
DCMA INPUT H1 RANGE setting specifies the mA DC range of the transducer connected to the input channel.
The DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE and DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE settings are used to program the span of the transducer in
primary units. For example, a temperature transducer might have a span from 0 to 250°C; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1
MIN VALUE value is “0” and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE value is “250”. Another example would be a watts transducer with
a span from –20 to +180 MW; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE value would be “–20” and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX
VALUE value “180”. Intermediate values between the min and max values are scaled linearly.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external resistance temperature detectors and convert these
signals into a digital format for use as required. These channels are intended to be connected to any of the RTD types in
common use. Specific hardware details are contained in Chapter 3.
RTD input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with
the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general

The function of the channel may be either “Enabled” or “Disabled”. If “Disabled”, there will not be an actual value created for
the channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to the channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual values. It is also 5
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. Selecting the
type of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel.
Actions based on RTD overtemperature, such as trips or alarms, are done in conjunction with the FlexElements™ feature.
In FlexElements™, the operate level is scaled to a base of 100°C. For example, a trip level of 150°C is achieved by setting
the operate level at 1.5 pu. FlexElement™ operands are available to FlexLogic™ for further interlocking or to operate an
output contact directly.

Hardware and software is provided to generate dcmA signals that allow interfacing with external equipment. Specific hard-
ware details are contained in Chapter 3. The dcmA output channels are arranged in a manner similar to transducer input or
CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with the settings shown below.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up, the
relay automatically generates configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same manner used
for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclusive, which is used as
the channel number.
Both the output range and a signal driving a given output are user-programmable via the following settings menu (an exam-
ple for channel M5 is shown).

The relay checks the driving signal (x in equations below) for the minimum and maximum limits, and subsequently re-
scales so the limits defined as MIN VAL and MAX VAL match the output range of the hardware defined as RANGE. The follow-
ing equation is applied:
⎧ I min if x < MIN VAL

⎪
I out = ⎨ I max if x > MAX VAL (EQ 5.24)
⎪
⎩ k ( x – MIN VAL ) + I min otherwise
where: x is a driving signal specified by the SOURCE setting

Imin and Imax are defined by the RANGE setting
k is a scaling constant calculated as:
I max – I min
k = ------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 5.25)

The feature is intentionally inhibited if the MAX VAL and MIN VAL settings are entered incorrectly, e.g. when MAX VAL – MIN

The dcmA output settings are described below.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: This setting specifies an internal analog value to drive the analog output. Actual values
(FlexAnalog parameters) such as power, current amplitude, voltage amplitude, power factor, etc. can be configured as
sources driving dcmA outputs. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of FlexAnalog parameters.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: This setting allows selection of the output range. Each dcmA channel may be set inde-
pendently to work with different ranges. The three most commonly used output ranges are available.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: This setting allows setting the minimum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current (see the following
examples). The setting is entered in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexEle-
ment™ base units.
• DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: This setting allows setting the maximum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current (see the following
examples). The setting is entered in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexEle-
ment™ base units.
The DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL and DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL settings are ignored for power factor base units (i.e. if
the DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE is set to FlexAnalog value based on power factor measurement).
NOTE
Three application examples are described below.

5 SETTINGS 5.8 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS
EXAMPLE 1:
A three phase active power on a 13.8 kV system measured via UR-series relay source 1 is to be monitored by the dcmA H1
output of the range of –1 to 1 mA. The following settings are applied on the relay: CT ratio = 1200:5, VT secondary 115, VT
connection is delta, and VT ratio = 120. The nominal current is 800 A primary and the nominal power factor is 0.90. The
power is to be monitored in both importing and exporting directions and allow for 20% overload compared to the nominal.
The nominal three-phase power is:
P = 3 × 13.8 kV × 0.8 kA × 0.9 = 17.21 MW (EQ 5.26)
The three-phase power with 20% overload margin is:

P max = 1.2 × 17.21 MW = 20.65 MW (EQ 5.27)
The base unit for power (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
P BASE = 115 V × 120 × 1.2 kA = 16.56 MW (EQ 5.28)
The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
20.65 MW = – 1.247 pu, maximum power = 20.65 MW- = 1.247 pu
minimum power = –------------------------------ -------------------------- (EQ 5.29)
16.56 MW 16.56 MW
The following settings should be entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: “SRC 1 P”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: “–1 to 1 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: “–1.247 pu”
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: “1.247 pu”
With the above settings, the output will represent the power with the scale of 1 mA per 20.65 MW. The worst-case error for 5
this application can be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 1 – ( – 1 ) ) × 20.65 MW = ± 0.207 MW
• ±1% of reading error for the active power at power factor of 0.9
For example at the reading of 20 MW, the worst-case error is 0.01 × 20 MW + 0.207 MW = 0.407 MW.
EXAMPLE 2:
The phase A current (true RMS value) is to be monitored via the H2 current output working with the range from 4 to 20 mA.
The CT ratio is 5000:5 and the maximum load current is 4200 A. The current should be monitored from 0 A upwards, allow-
ing for 50% overload.
The phase current with the 50% overload margin is:
I max = 1.5 × 4.2 kA = 6.3 kA (EQ 5.30)
The base unit for current (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
I BASE = 5 kA (EQ 5.31)
The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
minimum current = 0 kA- = 0 pu, maximum current = 6.3 kA- = 1.26 pu

----------- ---------------- (EQ 5.32)
5 kA 5 kA
DCMA OUTPUT H2 SOURCE: “SRC 1 Ia RMS”
DCMA OUTPUT H2 RANGE: “4 to 20 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H2 MIN VAL: “0.000 pu”
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 20 – 4 ) × 6.3 kA = ± 0.504 kA
• ±0.25% of reading or ±0.1% of rated (whichever is greater) for currents between 0.1 and 2.0 of nominal

For example, at the reading of 4.2 kA, the worst-case error is max(0.0025 × 4.2 kA, 0.001 × 5 kA) + 0.504 kA = 0.515 kA.
EXAMPLE 3:
A positive-sequence voltage on a 400 kV system measured via Source 2 is to be monitored by the dcmA H3 output with a
range of 0 to 1 mA. The VT secondary setting is 66.4 V, the VT ratio setting is 6024, and the VT connection setting is
“Delta”. The voltage should be monitored in the range from 70% to 110% of nominal.
The minimum and maximum positive-sequence voltages to be monitored are:
400 kV 400 kV
V min = 0.7 × ------------------- = 161.66 kV, V max = 1.1 × ------------------- = 254.03 kV (EQ 5.33)
3 3
The base unit for voltage (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
V BASE = 0.0664 kV × 6024 = 400 kV (EQ 5.34)
The minimum and maximum voltage values to be monitored (in pu) are:
minimum voltage = 161.66 kV- = 0.404 pu, maximum voltage = 254.03 kV- = 0.635 pu
-------------------------- -------------------------- (EQ 5.35)
400 kV 400 kV
DCMA OUTPUT H3 SOURCE: “SRC 2 V_1 mag”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 RANGE: “0 to 1 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MIN VAL: “0.404 pu”
The limit settings differ from the expected 0.7 pu and 1.1 pu because the relay calculates the positive-sequence quantities
5 scaled to the phase-to-ground voltages, even if the VTs are connected in “Delta” (refer to the Metering Conventions section
in Chapter 6), while at the same time the VT nominal voltage is 1 pu for the settings. Consequently the settings required in
this example differ from naturally expected by the factor of 3 .
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 × ( 1 – 0 ) × 254.03 kV = ± 1.27 kV
• ±0.5% of reading
For example, under nominal conditions, the positive-sequence reads 230.94 kV and the worst-case error is
0.005 x 230.94 kV + 1.27 kV = 2.42 kV.

The relay provides test settings to verify that functionality using simulated conditions for contact inputs and outputs. The
Test Mode is indicated on the relay faceplate by a flashing Test Mode LED indicator.
To initiate the Test mode, the TEST MODE FUNCTION setting must be “Enabled” and the TEST MODE INITIATE setting must be
set to Logic 1. In particular:
• To initiate Test Mode through relay settings, set TEST MODE INITIATE to “On”. The Test Mode starts when the TEST MODE
FUNCTION setting is changed from “Disabled” to “Enabled”.
• To initiate Test Mode through a user-programmable condition, such as FlexLogic™ operand (pushbutton, digital input,
communication-based input, or a combination of these), set TEST MODE FUNCTION to “Enabled” and set TEST MODE INI-
TIATE to the desired operand. The Test Mode starts when the selected operand assumes a Logic 1 state.
When in Test Mode, the L90 remains fully operational, allowing for various testing procedures. In particular, the protection
and control elements, FlexLogic™, and communication-based inputs and outputs function normally.
The only difference between the normal operation and the Test Mode is the behavior of the input and output contacts. The
former can be forced to report as open or closed or remain fully operational; the latter can be forced to open, close, freeze,
or remain fully operational. The response of the digital input and output contacts to the Test Mode is programmed individu-
ally for each input and output using the Force Contact Inputs and Force Contact Outputs test functions described in the fol- 5
lowing sections.

The relay digital inputs (contact inputs) could be pre-programmed to respond to the Test Mode in the following ways:
• If set to “Disabled”, the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. This value should be selected if a given input must be operational during the
test. This includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
• If set to “Open”, the input is forced to report as opened (Logic 0) for the entire duration of the Test Mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
• If set to “Closed”, the input is forced to report as closed (Logic 1) for the entire duration of the Test Mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
The Force Contact Inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs. Once
enabled, the relay is placed into Test Mode, allowing this feature to override the normal function of contact inputs. The Test
Mode LED will be On, indicating that the relay is in Test Mode. The state of each contact input may be programmed as “Dis-
abled”, “Open”, or “Closed”. All contact input operations return to normal when all settings for this feature are disabled.

The relay contact outputs can be pre-programmed to respond to the Test Mode.
If set to “Disabled”, the contact output remains fully operational. If operates when its control operand is Logic 1 and will
resets when its control operand is Logic 0. If set to “Energize”, the output will close and remain closed for the entire duration
of the Test Mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. If set to “De-energize”,
the output will open and remain opened for the entire duration of the Test Mode regardless of the status of the operand con-
figured to control the output contact. If set to “Freeze”, the output retains its position from before entering the Test Mode,
regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact.
These settings are applied two ways. First, external circuits may be tested by energizing or de-energizing contacts. Sec-
ond, by controlling the output contact state, relay logic may be tested and undesirable effects on external circuits avoided.
Example 1: Initiating a Test from User-Programmable Pushbutton 1
5 The Test Mode should be initiated from User-Programmable Pushbutton 1. The pushbutton will be programmed as
“Latched” (pushbutton pressed to initiate the test, and pressed again to terminate the test). During the test, Digital Input 1
should remain operational, Digital Inputs 2 and 3 should open, and Digital Input 4 should close. Also, Contact Output 1
should freeze, Contact Output 2 should open, Contact Output 3 should close, and Contact Output 4 should remain fully
operational. The required settings are shown below.
To enable User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 to initiate the Test mode, make the following changes in the SETTINGS
TESTING TEST MODE menu:
TEST MODE FUNCTION: “Enabled” and TEST MODE INITIATE: “PUSHBUTTON 1 ON”
Make the following changes to configure the Contact I/Os. In the SETTINGS TESTING FORCE CONTACT INPUTS and
FORCE CONTACT INPUTS menus, set:
FORCE Cont Ip 1: “Disabled”, FORCE Cont Ip 2: “Open”, FORCE Cont Ip 3: “Open”, and FORCE Cont Ip 4: “Closed”
FORCE Cont Op 1: “Freeze”, FORCE Cont Op 2: “De-energized”, FORCE Cont Op 3: “Open”, and FORCE Cont Op 4: “Disabled”
Example 2: Initiating a Test from User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 or through Remote Input 1

The Test should be initiated locally from User-Programmable Pushbutton 1 or remotely through Remote Input 1. Both the
pushbutton and the remote input will be programmed as “Latched”. The required settings are shown below.
Set the User Programmable Pushbutton as latching by changing SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE
PUSHBUTTONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION to “Latched”. To enable either Pushbutton 1 or Remote

The status information for two channels is shown here. A brief description of each actual value is below:
• CHANNEL 1(2) STATUS: This represents the receiver status of each channel. If the value is “OK”, the 87L Differential
element is enabled and data is being received from the remote terminal; If the value is “FAIL”, the 87L element is
enabled and data is not being received from the remote terminal. If “n/a”, the 87L element is disabled.
• CHANNEL 1(2) LOST PACKETS: Current, timing, and control data is transmitted to the remote terminals in data pack-
ets at a rate of 2 packets/cycle. The number of lost packets represents data packets lost in transmission; this count can
be reset through the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS menu.
• CHANNEL 1(2) LOCAL LOOPBACK STATUS: The result of the local loopback test is displayed here.
• CHANNEL 1(2) REMOTE LOOPBACK STATUS: The result of the remote loopback test is displayed here.
• CHANNEL 1(2) LOOP DELAY: Displays the round trip channel delay (including loopback processing time of the
remote relay) computed during a remote loopback test under normal relay operation, in milliseconds (ms).
• CHANNEL 1(2) ASYMMETRY: The result of channel asymmetry calculations derived from GPS signal is being dis-
played here for both channels if CHANNEL ASYMMETRY is “Enabled”. A positive “+” sign indicates the transit delay in the
transmitting direction is less than the delay in the receiving direction; a negative “–” sign indicates the transit delay in

the transmitting direction is more than the delay in the receiving direction. A displayed value of “0.0” indicates that
either asymmetry is not present or can not be estimated due to failure with local/remote GPS clock source.
• VALIDITY OF CHANNEL CONFIGURATION: The current state of the communications channel identification check,
and hence validity, is displayed here. If a remote relay ID number does not match the programmed number at the local
relay, the “FAIL” value is displayed. The “n/a” value appears if the Local relay ID is set to a default value of “0” or if the
87L element is disabled. Refer to SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP L90 POWER SYSTEM section for more information
• PFLL STATUS: This value represents the status of the Phase & Frequency Locked Loop Filter which uses timing infor-
mation from local & remote terminals to synchronize the clocks of all terminals. If PFLL STATUS is “OK”, the clocks of all
terminals are synchronized and 87L protection is enabled. If it is “FAIL”, the clocks of all terminals are not synchronized
and 87L protection is disabled. If “n/a”, then PFLL is disabled.
At startup, the clocks of all terminals are not synchronized and the PFLL status displayed is FAIL. It takes
up to 8 seconds after startup for the value displayed to change from FAIL to OK.

b) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING PHASE ANGLES

All phasors calculated by UR-series relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating phasors that
maintain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-selected
by the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting. This setting
defines a particular source to be used as the reference.
The relay will first determine if any “Phase VT” bank is indicated in the Source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is
used as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any “Aux VT” bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include “Phase CT” bank and “Ground CT” bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. This is illustrated below.

c) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS

The UR-series of relays calculate voltage symmetrical components for the power system phase A line-to-neutral voltage,
and symmetrical components of the currents for the power system phase A current. Owing to the above definition, phase
angle relations between the symmetrical currents and voltages stay the same irrespective of the connection of instrument
transformers. This is important for setting directional protection elements that use symmetrical voltages.
For display and oscillography purposes the phase angles of symmetrical components are referenced to a common refer-
ence as described in the previous sub-section.
WYE-CONNECTED INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS:

Four identical Source menus are available. The "SRC 1" text will be replaced by whatever name was programmed by the
user for the associated source (see SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES).
The relay measures (absolute values only) SOURCE DEMAND on each phase and average three phase demand for real,
6 reactive, and apparent power. These parameters can be monitored to reduce supplier demand penalties or for statistical
metering purposes. Demand calculations are based on the measurement type selected in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP
DEMAND menu. For each quantity, the relay displays the demand over the most recent demand time interval, the maxi-
mum demand since the last maximum demand reset, and the time and date stamp of this maximum demand value. Maxi-
mum demand quantities can be reset to zero with the CLEAR RECORDS CLEAR DEMAND RECORDS command.
SOURCE FREQUENCY is measured via software-implemented zero-crossing detection of an AC signal. The signal is either a
Clarke transformation of three-phase voltages or currents, auxiliary voltage, or ground current as per source configuration
(see the SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM settings). The signal used for frequency estimation is low-pass filtered. The
final frequency measurement is passed through a validation filter that eliminates false readings due to signal distortions and
transients. If the 87L function is enabled, then dedicated 87L frequency tracking is engaged. In this case, the relay uses the

The fault locator does not report fault type or location if the source VTs are connected in the Delta configuration.
NOTE
Fault type determination is required for calculation of fault location – the algorithm uses the angle between the negative and 6
positive sequence components of the relay currents. To improve accuracy and speed of operation, the fault components of
the currents are used, i.e., the pre-fault phasors are subtracted from the measured current phasors. In addition to the angle
relationships, certain extra checks are performed on magnitudes of the negative and zero-sequence currents.
The single-ended fault location method assumes that the fault components of the currents supplied from the local (A) and
remote (B) systems are in phase. The figure below shows an equivalent system for fault location.

where: m = sought pu distance to fault, Z = positive sequence impedance of the line.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1 OVERVIEW
8 THEORY OF OPERATION 8.1OVERVIEW 8.1.1 L90 DESIGN
All differential techniques rely on the fact that under normal conditions, the sum of the currents entering each phase of a
transmission line from all connected terminals is equal to the charging current for that phase. Beyond the fundamental dif-
ferential principle, the three most important technical considerations are; data consolidation, restraint characteristic, and
sampling synchronization. The L90 uses new and unique concepts in these areas.
Data consolidation refers to the extraction of appropriate parameters to be transmitted from raw samples of transmission
line phase currents. By employing data consolidation, a balance is achieved between transient response and bandwidth
requirements. Consolidation is possible along two dimensions: time and phases. Time consolidation consists of combining
a time sequence of samples to reduce the required bandwidth. Phase consolidation consists of combining information from
three phases and neutral. Although phase consolidation is possible, it is generally not employed in digital schemes,
because it is desired to detect which phase is faulted. The L90 relay transmits data for all three phases.
Time consolidation reduces communications bandwidth requirements. Time consolidation also improves security by elimi-
nating the possibility of falsely interpreting a single corrupted data sample as a fault.
The L90 relay system uses a new consolidation technique called “phaselets”. Phaselets are partial sums of the terms
involved in a complete phasor computation. The use of phaselets in the L90 design improves the transient response perfor-
mance without increasing the bandwidth requirements.
Phaselets themselves are not the same as phasors, but they can be combined into phasors over any time window that is
aligned with an integral number of phaselets (see the Phaselet Computation section in this chapter for details). The number
of phaselets that must be transmitted per cycle per phase is the number of samples per cycle divided by the number of
samples per phaselet. The L90 design uses 64 samples per cycle and 32 samples per phaselet, leading to a phaselet com-
munication bandwidth requirement of 2 phaselets per cycle. Two phaselets per cycle fits comfortably within a communica-
tions bandwidth of 64 Kbaud, and can be used to detect faults within a half cycle plus channel delay.
The second major technical consideration is the restraint characteristic, which is the decision boundary between situations
that are declared to be a fault and those that are not. The L90 uses an innovative adaptive decision process based on an
on-line computation of the sources of measurement error. In this adaptive approach, the restraint region is an ellipse with
variable major axis, minor axis, and orientation. Parameters of the ellipse vary with time to make best use of the accuracy
of current measurements.
The third major element of L90 design is sampling synchronization. In order for a differential scheme to work, the data
being compared must be taken at the same time. This creates a challenge when data is taken at remote locations.
The GE approach to clock synchronization relies upon distributed synchronization. Distributed synchronization is accom-
plished by synchronizing the clocks to each other rather than to a master clock. Clocks are phase synchronized to each
other and frequency synchronized to the power system frequency. Each relay compares the phase of its clock to the phase
of the other clocks and compares the frequency of its clock to the power system frequency and makes appropriate adjust-
ments. As long as there are enough channels operating to provide protection, the clocks will be synchronized.
8.1.2 L90 ARCHITECTURE
The L90 system uses a peer to peer architecture in which the relays at every terminal are identical. Each relay computes
differential current and clocks are synchronized to each other in a distributed fashion. The peer to peer architecture is
based on two main concepts that reduce the dependence of the system on the communication channels: replication of pro- 8
tection and distributed synchronization.
Replication of protection means that each relay is designed to be able to provide protection for the entire system, and does
so whenever it has enough information. Thus a relay provides protection whenever it is able to communicate directly with
all other relays. For a multi-terminal system, the degree of replication is determined by the extent of communication inter-
connection. If there is a channel between every pair of relays, every relay provides protection. If channels are not provided
between every pair of relays, only those relays that are connected to all other relays provide protection.
Each L90 relay measures three phase currents 64 times per cycle. Synchronization in sampling is maintained throughout
the system via the distributed synchronization technique.
The next step is the removal of any decaying offset from each phase current measurement. This is done using a digital sim-
ulation of the so-called “mimic circuit” (based on the differential equation of the inductive circuit that generates the offset).
Next, phaselets are computed by each L90 for each phase from the outputs of the mimic calculation, and transmitted to the

8.1 OVERVIEW 8 THEORY OF OPERATION
other relay terminals. Also, the sum of the squares of the raw data samples is computed for each phase, and transmitted
with the phaselets.
At the receiving relay, the received phaselets are combined into phasors. Also, ground current is reconstructed from phase
information. An elliptical restraint region is computed by combining sources of measurement error. In addition to the
restraint region, a separate disturbance detector is used to enhance security.
The possibility of a fault is indicated by the detection of a disturbance as well as the sum of the current phasors falling out-
side of the elliptical restraint region. The statistical distance from the phasor to the restraint region is an indication of the
severity of the fault. To provide speed of response that is commensurate with fault severity, the distance is filtered. For mild
faults, filtering improves measurement precision at the expense of a slight delay, on the order of one cycle. Severe faults
are detected within a single phaselet. Whenever the sum of phasors falls within the elliptical restraint region, the system
assumes there is no fault, and uses whatever information is available for fine adjustment of the clocks.
8.1.3 REMOVAL OF DECAYING OFFSET
The inductive behavior of power system transmission lines gives rise to decaying exponential offsets during transient con-
ditions, which could lead to errors and interfere with the determination of how well measured current fits a sinewave.
The current signals are pre-filtered using an improved digital MIMIC filter. The filter removes effectively the DC compo-
nent(s) guaranteeing transient overshoot below 2% regardless of the initial magnitude and time constant of the dc compo-
nent(s). The filter has significantly better filtering properties for higher frequencies as compared with a classical MIMIC filter.
This was possible without introducing any significant phase delay thanks to the high sampling rate used by the relay. The
output of the MIMIC calculation is the input for the phaselet computation. The MIMIC computation is applied to the data
samples for each phase at each terminal. The equation shown is for one phase at one terminal.
8.1.4 PHASELET COMPUTATION
Phaselets are partial sums in the computation for fitting a sine function to measured samples. Each slave computes phase-
lets for each phase current and transmits phaselet information to the master for conversion into phasors. Phaselets enable
the efficient computation of phasors over sample windows that are not restricted to an integer multiple of a half cycle at the
power system frequency. Determining the fundamental power system frequency component of current data samples by
minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors gives rise to the first frequency component of the Discrete Fourier Trans-
form (DFT). In the case of a data window that is a multiple of a half cycle, the computation is simply sine and cosine
weighted sums of the data samples. In the case of a window that is not a multiple of a half-cycle, there is an additional cor-
rection that results from the sine and cosine functions not being orthogonal over such a window. However, the computation
can be expressed as a two by two matrix multiplication of the sine and cosine weighted sums.
Phaselets and sum of squares are computed for each phase at each terminal as follows. For the real part, we have:
N⁄ 2– 1
4
I 1_Re_A ( k ) = ----
N
∑ ⎝
2π ( p + 1 ⁄ 2 )-⎞
i 1_f_A ( k – p ) ⋅ cos ⎛ -------------------------------
N ⎠
(EQ 8.1)
p=0
For the imaginary part, we have:

8 N⁄ 2– 1
4-
I 1_Im_A ( k ) = – ---
N
∑ ⎝
2π ( p + 1 ⁄ 2 )-⎞
i 1_f_A ( k – p ) ⋅ sin ⎛ -------------------------------
N ⎠
(EQ 8.2)
p=0
where: k is the present phaselet index,

N is the number of samples per cycle, and
p is the present sample index
The computation of phaselets and sum of squares is basically a consolidation process. The phaselet sums are converted
into stationary phasors by multiplying by a precomputed matrix. Phaselets and partial sums of squares are computed and
time stamped at each relay and communicated to the remote relay terminals, where they are added and the matrix multipli-
cation is performed. Since the sampling clocks are synchronized, the time stamp is simply a sequence number.

8.1.5 DISTURBANCE DETECTION
A disturbance detection algorithm is used to enhance security and to improve transient response. Conditions to detect a
disturbance include the magnitude of zero-sequence current, the magnitude of negative-sequence current, and changes in
positive, negative, or zero-sequence current. Normally, differential protection is performed using a full-cycle Fourier trans-
form. Continuous use of a full-cycle Fourier means that some pre-fault data is also used for computation – this may lead to
a slowdown in the operation of the differential function. To improve operating time, the window is resized to the half-cycle
Fourier once a disturbance is detected, thus removing pre-fault data.
8.1.6 FAULT DETECTION
Normally, the sum of the current phasors from all terminals is zero for each phase at every terminal. A fault is detected for a
phase when the sum of the current phasors from each terminal for that phase falls outside of a dynamic elliptical restraint
boundary for that phase. The severity of the fault is computed as follows for each phase.
The differential current is calculated as a sum of local and remote currents. The real part is expressed as:
I DIFF_RE_A = I LOC_PHASOR_RE_A + I REM1_PHASOR_RE_A + I REM2_PHASOR_RE_A (EQ 8.3)
The imaginary part is expressed as:

I DIFF_IM_A = I LOC_PHASOR_IM_A + I REM1_PHASOR_IM_A + I REM2_PHASOR_IM_A (EQ 8.4)
The differential current is squared for the severity equation:

2 2 2
( I DIFF_A ) = ( I DIFF_RE_A ) + ( I DIFF_IM_A ) (EQ 8.5)
The restraint current is composed from two distinctive terms: traditional and adaptive. Each relay calculates local portion of
the traditional and restraint current to be used locally and sent to remote peers for use with differential calculations. If more
than one CT are connected to the relay (breaker-and-the half applications), then a maximum of all (up to 4) currents is cho-
sen to be processed for traditional restraint:
The current chosen is expressed as:
2 2 2 2 2 2
( I LOC_TRAD_A ) = max ( ( I 1_MAG_A ) , ( I 2_MAG_A ) , ( I 3_MAG_A ) , ( I 4_MAG_A ) , ( I q_MAG_A ) ) (EQ 8.6)
This current is then processed with the slope (S1 and S2) and breakpoint (BP) settings to form a traditional part of the
restraint term for the local current as follows. For two-terminal systems, we have:
2 2
If ( I LOC_TRAD_A ) < BP
2 2
then ( I LOC_REST_TRAD_A ) = 2 ( S 1 ⋅ I LOC_TRAD_A ) (EQ 8.7)
2 2 2 2
else ( I LOC_REST_TRAD_A ) = 2 ( ( S 2 ⋅ I LOC_TRAD_A ) – ( S 2 ⋅ BP ) ) + 2 ( S 1 ⋅ BP )
For three-terminal systems we have

2
If ( I LOC_TRAD_A ) < BP
2
8
4
2 2
then ( I LOC_REST_TRAD_A ) = --- ( S 1 ⋅ I LOC_TRAD_A ) (EQ 8.8)
3
2 4 2 2 4 2
else ( I LOC_REST_TRAD_A ) = --- ( ( S 2 ⋅ I LOC_TRAD_A ) – ( S 2 ⋅ BP ) ) + --- ( S 1 ⋅ BP )
3 3
The final restraint current sent to peers and used locally in differential calculations is as follows:
2 2
I LOC_RESTRAINT_A = ( I LOC_REST_TRAD_A ) + MULT A ⋅ ( I LOC_ADA_A ) (EQ 8.9)
where: MULTA is a multiplier that increases restraint if CT saturation is detected (see CT Saturation Detection for details);
ILOC_ADA_A is an adaptive restraint term (see Online Estimate Of Measurement Error for details)
The squared restraining current is calculated as a sum of squared local and all remote restraints:

2 2 2 2
( I REST_A ) = ( I LOC_PHASOR_RESTRAINT_A ) + ( I REM1_PHASOR_RESTRAINT_A ) + ( I REM2_PHASOR_RESTRAINT_A ) (EQ 8.10)
The fault severity for each phase is determined by following equation:

2 2 2
S A = ( I DIFF_A ) – ( 2P + ( I REST_A ) ) (EQ 8.11)
where P is the pickup setting.

This equation is based on the adaptive strategy and yields an elliptical restraint characteristic. The elliptical area is the
restraint region. When the adaptive portion of the restraint current is small, the restraint region shrinks. When the adaptive
portion of the restraint current increases, the restraint region grows to reflect the uncertainty of the measurement. The com-
puted severity increases with the probability that the sum of the measured currents indicates a fault. With the exception of
“Restraint”, all quantities are defined in previous sections. “Adaptive Restraint” is a restraint multiplier, analogous to the
slope setting of traditional differential approaches, for adjusting the sensitivity of the relay.
Raising the restraint multiplier corresponds to demanding a greater confidence interval, and has the effect of decreasing
sensitivity while lowering it is equivalent to relaxing the confidence interval and increases sensitivity. Thus, the restraint
multiplier is an application adjustment that is used to achieve the desired balance between sensitivity and security. The
computed severity is zero when the operate phasor is on the elliptical boundary, is negative inside the boundary, and posi-
tive outside the boundary. Outside of the restraint boundary, the computed severity grows as the square of the fault current.
The restraint area grows as the square of the error in the measurements.
8.1.7 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
Synchronization of data sampling clocks is needed in a digital differential protection scheme, because measurements must
be made at the same time. Synchronization errors show up as phase angle and transient errors in phasor measurements at
the terminals. By phase angle errors, we mean that identical currents produce phasors with different phase angles. By tran-
sient errors, we mean that when currents change at the same time, the effect is seen at different times at different measure-
ment points. For best results, samples should be taken simultaneously at all terminals.
In the case of peer to peer architecture, synchronization is accomplished by synchronizing the clocks to each other rather
than to a master clock. Each relay compares the phase of its clock to the phase of the other clocks and compares the fre-
quency of its clock to the power system frequency and makes appropriate adjustments. The frequency and phase tracking
algorithm keeps the measurements at all relays within a plus or minus 25 microsecond error during normal conditions for a
2 or 3 terminal system. For 4 or more terminals the error may be somewhat higher, depending on the quality of the commu-
nications channels. The algorithm is unconditionally stable. In the case of 2 and 3 terminal systems, asymmetric communi-
cations channel delay is automatically compensated for. In all cases, an estimate of phase error is computed and used to
automatically adapt the restraint region to compensate. Frequency tracking is provided that will accommodate any fre-
quency shift normally encountered in power systems.
8.1.8 FREQUENCY TRACKING AND PHASE LOCKING
Each relay has a digital clock that determines when to take data samples and which is phase synchronized to all other
clocks in the system and frequency synchronized to the power system frequency. Phase synchronization drives the relative
timing error between clocks to zero, and is needed to control the uncertainty in the phase angle of phasor measurements,
8 which will be held to under 26 microseconds (0.6 degrees). Frequency synchronization to the power system eliminates a
source of error in phasor measurements that arises when data samples do not exactly span one cycle.
The block diagram for clock control for a two terminal system is shown in Figure 8–4. Each relay makes a local estimate of
the difference between the power system frequency and the clock frequency based on the rotation of phasors. Each relay
also makes a local estimate of the time difference between its clock and the other clocks either by exchanging timing infor-
mation over communications channels or from information that is in the current phasors, depending on whichever one is
more accurate at any given time. A loop filter then uses the frequency and phase angle deviation information to make fine
adjustments to the clock frequency. Frequency tracking starts if the current at one or more terminals is above 0.125 pu of
nominal; otherwise, the nominal frequency is used.

The L90 provides sensitive digital current differential protection by computing differential current from current phasors. To
improve sensitivity, the clocks are controlling current sampling are closely synchronized via the ping-pong algorithm. How-
ever, this algorithm assumes the communication channel delay is identical in each direction. If the delays are not the same,
the error between current phasors is equal to half of the transmit-receive time difference. If the error is high enough, the
relay perceives the “apparent” differential current and misoperates.
For applications where the communication channel is not symmetric (for example, SONET ring), the L90 allows the use of
GPS (Global Positioning System) to compensate for the channel delay asymmetry. This feature requires a GPS receiver to
provide a GPS clock signal to the L90 IRIG-B input. With this option there are two clocks as each terminal: a local sampling
clock and a local GPS clock. The sampling clock controls data sampling while the GPS clock provides an accurate, abso-
lute time reference used to measure channel asymmetry. The local sampling clocks are synchronized to each other in
phase and to the power system in frequency. The local GPS clocks are synchronized to GPS time using the externally pro-
vided GPS time signal.
GPS time stamp is included in the transmitted packet along with the sampling clock time stamp. Both sampling clock devia-
tion and channel asymmetry are computed from the four time-stamps. One half of the channel asymmetry is then sub-
tracted from the computed sampling clock deviation. The compensated deviation drives the phase and frequency lock loop
(PFLL) as shown on the diagram above. If GPS time reference is lost, the channel asymmetry compensation is not
enabled, and the relay clock may start to drift and accumulate differential error. In this case, the 87L function has to be
blocked. Refer to Chapter 9: Application of Settings for samples of how to program the relay. 8
8.1.9 FREQUENCY DETECTION
Estimation of frequency deviation is done locally at each relay based on rotation of positive sequence current, or on rotation
of positive sequence voltage, if it is available. The counter clockwise rotation rate is proportional to the difference between
the desired clock frequency and the actual clock frequency. With the peer to peer architecture, there is redundant frequency
tracking, so it is not necessary that all terminals perform frequency detection.
Normally each relay will detect frequency deviation, but if there is no current flowing nor voltage measurement available at
a particular relay, it will not be able to detect frequency deviation. In that case, the frequency deviation input to the loop filter
is set to zero and frequency tracking is still achieved because of phase locking to the other clocks. If frequency detection is
lost at all terminals because there is no current flowing then the clocks continue to operate at the frequency present at the
time of the loss of frequency detection. Tracking will resume as soon as there is current.

The rotational rate of phasors is equal to the difference between the power system frequency and the ratio of the sampling
frequency divided by the number of samples per cycle. The correction is computed once per power system cycle at each
relay. For conciseness, we use a phasor notation:
I ( n ) = Re ( Phasor n ) + j ⋅ Im ( Phasor n )
I a, k ( n ) = I ( n ) for phase a from the kth terminal at time step n
(EQ 8.12)
I b, k ( n ) = I ( n ) for phase b from the kth terminal at time step n
I c, k ( n ) = I ( n ) for phase c from the kth terminal at time step n
Each terminal computes positive sequence current:

1 j2π ⁄ 3 j2π ⁄ 3
I pos, k ( n ) = --- ( I a, k ( n ) + I b, k ( n ) ⋅ e + I c, k ( n ) ⋅ e ) (EQ 8.13)
3
Each relay computes a quantity derived from the positive sequence current that is indicative of the amount of rotation from
one cycle to the next, by computing the product of the positive sequence current times the complex conjugate of the posi-
tive sequence current from the previous cycle:
Deviation k ( n ) = I pos, k ( n ) × I pos, k ( n – N )∗ (EQ 8.14)
The angle of the deviation phasor for each relay is proportional to the frequency deviation at that terminal. Since the clock
synchronization method maintains frequency synchronism, the frequency deviation is approximately the same for each
relay. The clock deviation frequency is computed from the deviation phasor:
–1
Δf tan ( Im ( Deviation ) ⁄ Re ( Deviation ) )
FrequencyDeviation = ----- = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EQ 8.15)
f 2π
Note that a four quadrant arctangent can be computed by taking the imaginary and the real part of the deviation separately
for the two arguments of the four quadrant arctangent. Also note that the input to the loop filter is in radian frequency which
is two pi times the frequency in cycles per second; that is, Δω = 2π ⋅ Δf .
So the radian frequency deviation can be calculated simply as:
–1
Δω = Δf ⋅ tan ( Im ( Deviation ) ⁄ Re ( Deviation ) ) (EQ 8.16)
8.1.10 PHASE DETECTION
There are two separate sources of clock phase information; exchange of time stamps over the communications channels
and the current measurements themselves (although voltage measurements can be used to provide frequency information,
they cannot be used for phase detection). Current measurements can generally provide the most accurate information, but
are not always available and may contain large errors during faults or switching transients. Time stamped messages are
the most reliable source of phase information but suffer from a phase offset due to a difference in the channel delays in
each direction between a pair of relays. In some cases, one or both directions may be switched to a different physical path,
leading to gross phase error.
8 The primary source of phase information are CPU time-tagged messages. If GPS compensation is enabled, GPS time
stamps are used to compensate for asymmetry. In all cases, frequency deviation information is also used when available.
The phase difference between a pair of clocks is computed by an exchange of time stamps. Each relay exchanges time
stamps with all other relays that can be reached.
It is not necessary to exchange stamps with every relay, and the method works even with some of the channels failed. For
each relay that a given relay can exchange time stamps with, the clock deviation is computed each time a complete set of
time stamps arrives. The net deviation is the total deviation divided by the total number of relays involved in the exchange.
For example, in the case of two terminals, each relay computes a single time deviation from time stamps, and divides the
result by two. In the case of three terminals, each relay computes two time deviations and divides the result by three. If a
channel is lost, the single deviation that remains is divided by two.
Four time stamps are needed to compute round trip delay time and phase deviation. Three stamps are included in the mes-
sage in each direction. The fourth time stamp is the time when the message is received. Each time a message is received
the oldest two stamps of the four time stamps are saved to become the first two time stamps of the next outgoing message.

The third time stamp of an outgoing message is the time when the message is transmitted. A fixed time shift is allowed
between the stamp values and the actual events, provided the shift for outgoing message time stamps is the same for all
relays, and the shift incoming message time stamps is also identical.
To reduce bandwidth requirements, time stamps are spread over 3 messages. In the case of systems with 4 messages per
cycle, time stamps are sent out on three of the four messages, so a complete set is sent once per cycle. In the case of sys-
tems with 1 message per cycle, three time stamps are sent out each cycle in a single message. The transmit and receive
time stamps are based on the first message in the sequence.
One of the strengths of this approach is that it is not necessary to explicitly identify or match time stamp messages. Usually,
two of the time stamps in an outgoing message are simply taken from the last incoming message. The third time stamp is
the transmittal time. However, there are two circumstances when these time stamps are not available. One situation is
when the first message is transmitted by a given relay. The second is when the exchange is broken long enough to invali-
date the last received set of time stamps (if the exchange is broken for longer than 66 ms, the time stamps from a given
clock could roll over twice, invalidating time difference computations). In either of these situations, the next outgoing set of
time stamps is a special start-up set containing transmittal time only. When such a message is received, nothing is com-
puted from it, except the message time stamp and the received time stamp are saved for the next outgoing message (it is
neither necessary nor desirable to “reset” the local clock when such a message is received).
Error analysis shows that time stamp requirements are not very stringent because of the smoothing behavior of the phase
locked loop. The time stamp can be basically a sample count with enough bits to cover the worst round trip, including chan-
nel delay and processing delay. An 8 bit time stamp with 1 bit corresponding to 1/64 of a cycle will accommodate a round
trip delay of up to 4 cycles, which should be more than adequate.
The computation of round trip delay and phase offset from four time stamps is as follows:
a = Ti – 2 – Ti – 3
b = Ti – Ti – 1
δi = a + b (EQ 8.17)
θi = a – b-
-----------
2
The Ts are the time stamps, with Ti the newest. Delta is the round trip delay. Theta is the clock offset, and is the correct sign
for the feedback loop. Note that the time stamps are unsigned numbers that wrap around, while a and b can be positive or
negative; δi must be positive and θi can be positive or negative. Some care must be taken in the arithmetic to take into
account possible roll over of any of the time stamps. If Ti – 2 is greater than Ti – 1, there was a roll over in the clock respon-
sible for those two time stamps.
To correct for the roll over, subtract 256 from the round trip and subtract 128 from the phase angle. If Ti – 3 is greater than Ti,
add 256 to the round trip and add 128 to the phase angle. Also, if the above equations are computed using integer values
of time stamps, a conversion to phase angle in radians is required by multiplying by π / 32.
Time stamp values are snapshots of the local 256 bit sample counter taken at the time of the transmission or receipt of the
first message in a time stamp sequence. This could be done either in software or hardware, provided the jitter is limited to
less than plus or minus 130 μs. A fixed bias in the time stamp is acceptable, provided it is the same for all terminals.
Another source of phase information in the case of a two or three-terminal system are the current measurements. In the
case of a two terminal system, phase angle deviation at a terminal is computed as follows: 8
∗
1 – 1 ⎛ – Im ( I pos, 2 ( n ) ⋅ I pos, 1 ( n ) ) ⎞
φ 1 ( n ) = --- ⋅ tan ⎜ ---------------------------------------------------------------------⎟ (EQ 8.18)
2 ⎝ – Re ( I pos, 2 ( n ) ⋅ I pos, 1 ( n )∗ )⎠
Again, it is possible to use a four quadrant arctangent, in which case the minus signs are needed on the imaginary and the
real part as shown. The subscript 1 refers to the current at the local peer and the subscript 2 refers to the current at the
remote peer.
In the case of a three terminal system, the phase deviation at each terminal is computed as:
Re ( ( I pos, 3 ( n ) – I pos, 2 ( n ) ) ⋅ ( I pos, 1 ( n )∗ + I pos, 2 ( n )∗ + I pos, 3 ( n )∗ ) )

φ 1 ( n ) = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 8.19)
Im ( I pos, 2 ( n ) ⋅ I pos, 1 ( n )∗ + I pos, 3 ( n ) ⋅ I pos, 2 ( n )∗ + I pos, 1 ( n ) ⋅ I pos, 3 ( n )∗ )

Numbering of the terminals is not critical. Subscript 1 refers to the local peer. Subscripts 2 and 3 refer to the other 2 peers.
Swapping 2 and 3, flips the sign of both the numerator and the denominator.
Regarding timing of the computations, the latest available phase and frequency deviation information is furnished to the
loop filter once per cycle in the case of a 64 Kbaud communications channel, and once every 3 cycles in the case of a 9600
baud communications channel.

8.1.11 PHASE LOCKING FILTER
Filters are used in the phase locked loop to assure stability, to reduce phase and frequency noise. This is well known tech-
nology. The primary feedback mechanism shown in the Loop Block Diagram is phase angle information through the well
known proportional plus integral (PI) filter (the Z in the diagram refers to a unit delay, and 1 / (Z – 1) represents a simple
digital first order integrator). This loop is used to provide stability and zero steady state error.
A PI filter has two time parameters that determine dynamic behavior: the gain for the proportional term and the gain for the
integral. Depending on the gains, the transient behavior of the loop can be underdamped, critically damped, or over
damped. For this application, critically damped is a good choice.
This sets a constraint relating the two parameters. A second constraint is derived from the desired time constants of the
loop. By considering the effects of both phase and frequency noise in this application it can be shown that optimum behav-
ior results with a certain proportion between phase and frequency constraints.
A secondary input is formed through the frequency deviation input of the filter. Whenever frequency deviation information is
available, it is used for this input; otherwise, the input is zero. Because frequency is the derivative of phase information, the
appropriate filter for frequency deviation is an integrator, which is combined with the integrator of the PI filter for the phase.
It is very important to combine these two integrators into a single function because it can be shown if two separate integra-
tors are used, they can drift in opposite directions into saturation, because the loop would only drive their sum to zero.
In normal operation, frequency tracking at each terminal matches the tracking at all other terminals, because all terminals
will measure approximately the same frequency deviation. However, if there is not enough current at a terminal to compute
frequency deviation, frequency tracking at that terminal is accomplished indirectly via phase locking to other terminals. A
small phase deviation must be present for the tracking to occur.
Also shown in the loop is the clock itself, because it behaves like an integrator. The clock is implemented in hardware and
software with a crystal oscillator and a counter.

There are 4 gains in the filter that must be selected once and for all as part of the design of the system. The gains are deter-

8.1.12 CLOCK IMPLEMENTATION
Another new invention in the L90 relay system is the clock. Using the conventional approach to implementing a digital clock
to achieve the desired goal for phase uncertainty of 0.01 radians. A variation of the concept used in sigma delta modulation
can be used to greatly extend the effective resolution of the clock. For example, it is possible to get the effective resolution
of a 32 bit counter and a 400 GHz oscillator without much trouble.
The concept is to implement a fractional count. The concept as applied in the L90 digital current differential relay is dis-
cussed below.
The existing crystal clock and 16-bit counter control both time stamping and data sampling. The counter is loaded with a
desired period, which is for four data samples. Each time the period is counted out, data is sampled. After 4 samples (1/16
of a cycle), the counter is reloaded, possibly with a new value. The new idea is implemented completely in software.
Time periods between data samples are computed as 32-bit multiples of the clock period, with a 16-bit integer and 16 frac-
tion. Two separate 16-bit registers control the clock: one register controls the integer portion of the time period, the other is
used to control the fractional portion. The integer register is used to reload the hardware counter every four samples.
There are two possible reload values for the counter: either the value in the integer register is used directly, or one is added
to it, depending on the contents of the fraction register. The fraction register is used to carry a running total of the fractional
portion of the desired time period. Each time the hardware counter is reloaded, the fractional portion of the desired period is
added to the fractional register, occasionally generating a carry. Whenever a carry is generated, the counter reload value
for the next period is increased by one for that period only. The fractional register is never reset, even when the desired
period changes. Other clock related functions include time stamps and sequence numbers.
Phase noise analysis indicates that not many bits are needed for time stamps because of the smoothing effects of the loop
filter. Basically, a simple integer count of the number of samples is adequate. That is, a resolution of 260 microseconds in
the time stamps is adequate. Assuming a worst round trip channel delay of 4 cycles, an 8 bit counter is adequate for time
stamping. Every 1/64 of a cycle when data is sampled, an 8 bit counter should be incremented and allowed to simply roll
over to 0 after a count of 255 which should occur exactly every 4 cycles at the beginning of the cycle. Whenever a time
stamp is needed, the time stamp counter is simply read.
A message sequence number is also needed with a granularity of 1/2 cycle. A message sequence number can be simply
extracted from the 4 high order bits of the time stamp counter. Since the time stamps may or may not have any relationship
to the message sequence number in a message, both are needed.
8.1.13 MATCHING PHASELETS
An algorithm is needed to match phaselets, detect lost messages, and detect communications channel failure. Channel fail-
ure is defined by a sequence of lost messages, where the length of the sequence is a design parameter. In any case, the
sequence should be no longer than the maximum sequence number (4 cycles) in order to be able to match up messages
when the channel is assumed to be operating normally.
A channel failure can be detected by a watchdog software timer that times the interval between consecutive incoming mes-
sages. If the interval exceeds a maximum limit, channel failure is declared and the channel recovery process is initiated.
While the channel is assumed to be operating normally, it is still possible for an occasional message to be lost, in which
case fault protection is suspended for the time period that depends on that message, and is resumed on the next occa-
8 sional message. A lost message is detected simply by looking at the sequence numbers of incoming messages. A lost
message will show up as a gap in the sequence.
Sequence numbers are also used to match messages for the protection computation. Whenever a complete set of current
measurements from all terminals with matching sequence numbers are available, the differential protection function is com-
puted using that set of measurements.
8.1.14 START-UP
Initialization in our peer to peer architecture is done independently at each terminal. Relays can be turned on in any order
with the power system either energized or de-energized. Synchronization and protection functions are accomplished auto-
matically whenever enough information is available.
After a relay completes other initialization tasks such as resetting of buffer pointers and determining relay settings, initial
values are computed for any state variables in the loop filters or the protection functions. The relay starts its clock at the
nominal power system frequency. Phaselet information is computed and transmitted.

• Outgoing messages over a given channel are treated in the same way as during the channel recovery process. The
special start-up message is sent each time containing only a single time step value.
• When incoming messages begin arriving over a channel, that channel is placed in service and the loop filters are
started up for that channel.
• Whenever the total clock uncertainty is less than a fixed threshold, the phase locking filter is declared locked and differ-
ential protection is enabled.
8.1.15 HARDWARE AND COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS
The average total channel delay in each direction is not critical, provided the total round trip delay is less than 4 power sys-
tem cycles. The jitter is important, and should be less than ±130 μs in each direction. The effect of a difference in the aver-
age delay between one direction and the other depends on the number of terminals. In the case of a 2 or 3 terminal system,
the difference is not critical, and can even vary with time. In the case of a 4 or more terminal system, variation in the differ-
ence limits the sensitivity of the system.
• The allowable margin of 130 μs jitter includes jitter in servicing the interrupt generated by an incoming message. For
both incoming and outgoing messages, the important parameter is the jitter between when the time stamp is read and
when the message begins to go out or to come in.
• The quality of the crystal driving the clock and software sampling is not critical, because of the compensation provided
by the phase and frequency tracking algorithm, unless it is desired to perform under or over frequency protection.
From the point of view of current differential protection only, the important parameter is the rate of drift of crystal fre-
quency, which should be less than 100 parts per million per minute.
• A 6 Mhz clock with a 16-bit hardware counter is adequate, provided the method is used for achieving the 32-bit resolu-
tion that is described in this document.
• An 8-bit time stamp is adequate provided time stamp messages are exchanged once per cycle.
• A 4-bit message sequence number is adequate.
Depending on the 87L settings, channel asymmetry (the difference in the transmitting and receiving paths channel delay)
cannot be higher than 1 to 1.5 ms if channel asymmetry compensation is not used. However, if the relay detects asymmetry
higher than 1.5 ms, the 87L DIFF CH ASYM DET FlexLogic™ operand is set high and the event and target are raised (if they
are enabled in the CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL menu) to provide an indication about potential danger.
8.1.16 ONLINE ESTIMATE OF MEASUREMENT ERRORS
GE's adaptive elliptical restraint characteristic is a good approximation to the cumulative effects of various sources of error
in determining phasors. Sources of error include power system noise, transients, inaccuracy in line charging current com-
putation, current sensor gain, phase and saturation error, clock error, and asynchronous sampling. Errors that can be con-
trolled are driven to zero by the system. For errors that cannot be controlled, all relays compute and sum the error for each
source of error for each phase. The relay computes the error caused by power system noise, CT saturation, harmonics,
and transients. These errors arise because power system currents are not always exactly sinusoidal. The intensity of these
errors varies with time; for example, growing during fault conditions, switching operations, or load variations. The system
treats these errors as a Gaussian distribution in the real and in the imaginary part of each phasor, with a standard deviation
that is estimated from the sum of the squares of the differences between the data samples and the sine function that is 8
used to fit them. This error has a spectrum of frequencies. Current transformer saturation is included with noise and tran-
sient error. The error for noise, harmonics, transients, and current transformer saturation is computed as follows. First, the
sum of the squares of the errors in the data samples is computed from the sum of squares information for the present pha-
selet:

2
SumSquares 1_A ( k )

∑ ( i 1_f_A ( k – p ) ) (EQ 8.21)
p=0
Then fundamental magnitude is computed as follows for the same phaselet:
2 2
I 1_MAG_A = ( I 1_RE_A ) + ( I 1_IM_A ) (EQ 8.22)

Finally, the local adaptive restraint term is computed as follows, for each local current:
2 4 2
( I 1_ADA_A ) = ---- ( SumSquares 1_A ( k ) – ( I 1_MAG_A ) ) (EQ 8.23)
N
Another source of the measurement errors is clock synchronization error, resulting in a clock uncertainty term. The L90
algorithm accounts for two terms of synchronization error corresponding to:
• Raw clock deviation computed from time stamps. There are several effects that cause it to not track exactly. First, the
ping-pong algorithm inherently produces slightly different estimates of clock deviation at each terminal. Second,
because the transmission of time stamps is spread out over several packets, the clock deviation estimate is not up to
date with other information it is combined with. Channel asymmetry also contributes to this term. The clock deviation
computation is indicated in equation 8.15 as θi. If 2 channels are used, clock deviation is computed for both channels
and then average of absolute values is computed. If GPS compensation is used, then GPS clock compensation is sub-
tracted from the clock deviation.
• Startup error. This term is used to estimate the initial startup transient of PFLLs. During startup conditions, a decaying
exponential is computed to simulate envelope of the error during startup
The clock uncertainty is expressed as:
clock_unc = clock_dev + start_up_error (EQ 8.24)
Eventually, the local clock error is computed as:

2
( clock_unc ) 2 2
CLOCK A = ---------------------------------- ⋅ ( ( I LOC_RE_A ) + ( I LOC_IM_A ) ) (EQ 8.25)
9
The local squared adaptive restraint is computed from all local current sources (1 to 4) and is obtained as follows:
2 2 2 2 2 2
( I LOC_ADA_A ) = 18 ⋅ ( ( I 1_ADA_A ) + ( I 2_ADA_A ) + ( I 3_ADA_A ) + ( I 4_ADA_A ) + ( I q_ADA_A ) + CLOCK A ) (EQ 8.26)
8.1.17 CT SATURATION DETECTION
Current differential protection is inherently dependent on adequate CT performance at all terminals of the protected line,
especially during external faults. CT saturation, particularly when it happens at only one terminal of the line, introduces a
spurious differential current that may cause the differential protection to misoperate.
The L90 applies a dedicated mechanism to cope with CT saturation and ensure security of protection for external faults.
The relay dynamically increases the weight of the square of errors (the so-called ‘sigma’) portion in the total restraint quan-
tity, but for external faults only. The following logic is applied:
• First, the terminal currents are compared against a threshold of 3 pu to detect overcurrent conditions that may be
caused by a fault and may lead to CT saturation.
• For all the terminal currents that are above the 3 pu level, the relative angle difference is calculated. If all three termi-
nals see significant current, then all three pairs (1, 2), (2, 3), and (1, 3) are considered and the maximum angle differ-
ence is used in further calculations.
8 • Depending on the angle difference between the terminal currents, the value of sigma used for the adaptive restraint
current is increased by the multiple factor of 1, 5, or 2.5 to 5 as shown below. As seen from the figure, a factor of 1 is
used for internal faults, and a factor of 2.5 to 5 is used for external faults. This allows the relay to be simultaneously
sensitive for internal faults and robust for external faults with a possible CT saturation.
If more than one CT is connected to the relay (breaker-and-the half applications), the CT saturation mechanism is executed
between the maximum local current against the sum of all others, then between the maximum local and remote currents to
select the secure multiplier MULT. A Maximum of two (local and remote) is selected and then applied to adaptive restraint.

The basic premise for the operation of differential protection schemes in general, and of the L90 line differential element in
particular, is that the sum of the currents entering the protected zone is zero. In the case of a power system transmission
line, this is not entirely true because of the capacitive charging current of the line. For short transmission lines the charging
current is a small factor and can therefore be treated as an unknown error. In this application the L90 can be deployed with-
out voltage sensors and the line charging current is included as a constant term in the total variance, increasing the differ-
ential restraint current. For long transmission lines the charging current is a significant factor, and should be computed to
provide increased sensitivity to fault current.
Compensation for charging current requires the voltage at the terminals be supplied to the relays. The algorithm calculates
C × dv ⁄ dt for each phase, which is then subtracted from the measured currents at both ends of the line. This is a simple
approach that provides adequate compensation of the capacitive current at the fundamental power system frequency. Trav-
elling waves on the transmission line are not compensated for, and contribute to restraint by increasing the measurement of
errors in the data set.
The underlying single phase model for compensation for a two and three terminal system are shown below.

Apportioning the total capacitance among the terminals is not critical for compensating the fundamental power system fre-
quency charging current as long as the total capacitance is correct. Compensation at other frequencies will be approximate.
If the VTs are connected in wye, the compensation is accurate for both balanced conditions (i.e. all positive, negative and
zero sequence components of the charging current are compensated). If the VTs are connected in delta, the compensation
is accurate for positive and negative sequence components of the charging current. Since the zero sequence voltage is not
available, the L90 cannot compensate for the zero sequence current.
The compensation scheme continues to work with the breakers open, provided the voltages are measured on the line side
of the breakers.
For very long lines, the distributed nature of the line leads to the classical transmission line equations which can be solved
for voltage and current profiles along the line. What is needed for the compensation model is the effective positive and zero
sequence capacitance seen at the line terminals.
Finally, in some applications the effect of shunt reactors needs to be taken into account. With very long lines shunt reactors
may be installed to provide some of the charging current required by the line. This reduces the amount of charging current
flowing into the line. In this application, the setting for the line capacitance should be the residual capacitance remaining
after subtracting the shunt inductive reactance from the total capacitive reactance at the power system frequency.
8.1.19 DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENT CHARACTERISTICS
The differential element is completely dependent on receiving data from the relay at the remote end of the line, therefore,
upon startup, the differential element is disabled until the time synchronization system has aligned both relays to a common
time base. After synchronization is achieved, the differential is enabled. Should the communications channel delay time
increase, such as caused by path switching in a SONET system or failure of the communications power supply, the relay
will act as outlined in the next section.
The L90 incorporates an adaptive differential algorithm based on the traditional percent differential principle. In the tradi-
tional percent differential scheme, the operating parameter is based on the phasor sum of currents in the zone and the
restraint parameter is based on the scalar (or average scalar) sum of the currents in the protected zone - when the operat-
8 ing parameter divided by the restraint parameter is above the slope setting, the relay will operate. During an external fault,
the operating parameter is relatively small compared to the restraint parameter, whereas for an internal fault, the operating
parameter is relatively large compared to the restraint parameter. Because the traditional scheme is not adaptive, the ele-
ment settings must allow for the maximum amount of error anticipated during an out-of-zone fault, when CT errors may be
high and/or CT saturation may be experienced.
The major difference between the L90 differential scheme and a percent differential scheme is the use of an estimate of
errors in the input currents to increase the restraint parameter during faults, permitting the use of more sensitive settings
than those used in the traditional scheme. The inclusion of the adaptive feature in the scheme produces element character-
istic equations that appear to be different from the traditional scheme, but the differences are minimal during system
steady-state conditions. The element equations are shown in the Operating Condition Calculations section.

8.1.20 RELAY SYNCHRONIZATION
On startup of the relays, the channel status will be checked first. If channel status is OK, all relays will send a special “star-
tup” message and the synchronization process will be initiated. It will take about 5 to 7 seconds to declare PFLL status as
OK and to start performing current differential calculations. If one of the relays was powered off during the operation, the
synchronization process will restart from the beginning. Relays tolerate channel delay (resulting sometimes in step change
in communication paths) or interruptions up to 4 power cycles round trip time (about 66 ms at 60 Hz) without any deteriora-
tion in performance. If communications are interrupted for more than 4 cycles, the following applies:
In 2-terminal mode:
1. With second redundant channel, relays will not lose functionality at all if second channel is live.
2. With one channel only, relays have a 5 second time window. If the channel is restored within this time, it takes about 2-
3 power cycles of valid PFLL calculations (and if estimated error is still within margin) to declare that PFLL is OK. If the
channel is restored later than 5 seconds, PFLL at both relays will be declared as failed and the re-synch process will
be initiated (about 5 to 7 seconds) after channel status becomes OK.
In 3-terminal mode:
1. If one of the channels fails, the configuration reverts from Master-Master to Master-Slave where the Master relay has
both channels live. The Master relay PFLL keeps the 2 Slave relays in synchronization, and therefore there is no time
limit for functionality. The PFLL of the Slave relays will be “suspended” (87L function will not be performed at these
relays but they can still trip via DTT from the Master relay) until the channel is restored. If the estimated error is within
margin upon channel restoration and after 2 to 3 power cycles of valid PFLL calculations, the PFLL will be declared as
OK and the configuration will revert back to Master-Master.
2. If 2 channels fail, PFLL at all relays will be declared as failed and when the channels are back into service, the re-
synch process will be initiated (about 5 to 7 seconds) after channel status becomes OK.
Depending on the system configuration (number of terminals and channels), the 87L function operability depends on the
status of channel(s), status of synchronization, and status of channel(s) ID validation. All these states are available as Flex-
Logic™ operands, for viewing in actual values, logged in the event recorder (if events are enabled in 87L menu), and also
trigger Targets (if targets are enabled in 87L menu). These FlexLogic™ operands are readily to be used to trigger alarm, lit
LED and to be captured in oscillography.
There is, however, a single FlexLogic™ operand 87L BLOCKED, reflecting whether or not the local current differential func-
tion is blocked due to communications or settings problems. The state of this operand is based on the combination of con-
ditions outlined above and it is recommended that it be used to enable backup protection if 87L is not available.
The FlexLogic™ operand 87L BLOCKED is set when the 87L function is enabled and any of the following three conditions
apply:
1. Channel fail as indicated below:
At least one channel failed either at 3 Terminal or 2 Terminal-1 Channel systems, or
Both channels failed at 2 Terminal-2 Channels
2. PFFL fail or suspended,
3. Channel ID failure detected on at least one channel at either system.
All L90 communications alarms can be divided by major and minor alarms.
8
The major alarms are Channel Fail, PFLL Fail, and Channel ID Fail. The relay is blocked automatically if any of these con-
ditions occur. Therefore, there is no need to assign these operands to a current differential block setting.
The minor alarms are CRC Fail and Lost Packet, which are indicators of a poor or noisy communications channel. If the
relay recognizes that a packet is lost or corrupted, the 87L feature is not processed at that protection pass. Instead, it waits
for the next valid packet.

8.2 OPERATING CONDITION CHARACTERISTICS 8 THEORY OF OPERATION
8.2OPERATING CONDITION CHARACTERISTICS 8.2.1 DESCRIPTION
Characteristics of differential elements can be shown in the complex plane. The operating characteristics of the L90 are
fundamentally dependant on the relative ratios of the local and remote current phasor magnitudes and the angles of I loc /
I rem as shown in the Restraint Characteristics figure.
The main factors affecting the trip-restraint decisions are:
1. Difference in angles (+ real represents pure internal fault when currents are essentially in phase, – real represents
external fault when currents are 180° apart).
2. The magnitude of remote current.
3. The magnitude of the local current.
4. Dynamically estimated errors in calculations.
5. Settings.
The following figure also shows the relay's capability to handle week-infeed conditions by increasing the restraint ellipse
when the remote current is relatively small (1.5 pu). Therefore, uncertainty is greater when compared with higher remote
currents (3 pu). The characteristic shown is also dependant on settings. The second graph shows how the relay's trip-
restraint calculation is made with respect to the variation in angle difference between local and remote currents. The char-
acteristic for 3 terminal mode is similar where both remote currents are combined together.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1 CT REQUIREMENTS
9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.1CT REQUIREMENTS 9.1.1 INTRODUCTION
In general, proper selection of CTs is required to provide both adequate fault sensitivity and prevention of operation on
high-current external faults that could result from CT saturation. The use of high quality CTs, such as class X, improves
relay stability during transients and CT saturation, and can increase relay sensitivity. A current differential scheme is highly
dependent on adequate signals from the source CTs. Ideally, CTs used for line current differential should be chosen based
on good application practice as described below. If the available CTs do not meet the described criteria, the L90 will still
provide good security for CT saturation for external faults. Its adaptive restraint characteristics, based on estimates of mea-
surement errors and CT saturation detection, allow the relay to be secure on external faults while maintaining excellent per-
formance for severe internal faults. Where CT characteristics do not meet criteria or where CTs at both ends may have
different characteristics, the differential settings should be adjusted as per Section 9.2.1.
The capability of the CTs, and the connected burden, should be checked as follows:
1. The CTs should be class TPX or TPY (class TPZ should only be used after discussion with both the manufacturer of
the CT and GE Multilin) or IEC class 5P20 or better.
2. The CT primary current rating should be somewhat higher than the maximum continuous current, but not extremely
high relative to maximum load because the differential element minimum sensitivity setting is approximately 0.2 × CT
rating (the L90 relay allows for different CT ratings at each of the terminals).
3. The VA rating of the CTs should be above the Secondary Burden × CT Rated Secondary Current. The maximum sec-
ondary burden for acceptable performance is:
CT Rated VA
R b + R r < ------------------------------------------------------------2- (EQ 9.1)
( CT Secondary I rated )
where: Rb = total (two-way) wiring resistance plus any other load

Rr = relay burden at rated secondary current
4. The CT kneepoint voltage (per the Vk curves from the manufacturer) should be higher than the maximum secondary
voltage during a fault. This can be estimated by:
X- + 1⎞ × ( R + R + R ) for phase-phase faults

V k > I fp × ⎛ ---
⎝R ⎠ CT L r
(EQ 9.2)
X
V k > I fg × ⎛ --- ⎞
⎝ R- + 1⎠ × ( R CT + 2R L + R r ) for phase-ground faults
where: Ifp = maximum secondary phase-phase fault current

Ifg = maximum secondary phase-ground fault current
X / R = primary system reactance / resistance ratio
RCT = CT secondary winding resistance
RL = AC secondary wiring resistance (one-way)

9.1 CT REQUIREMENTS 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.1.2 CALCULATION EXAMPLE 1
To check performance of a class C400 ANSI/IEEE CT, ratios 2000/1800/1600/1500 : 5 A connected at 1500:5, and where:
• maximum Ifp = 14 000 A
• maximum Ifg = 12 000 A
• impedance angle of source and line = 78°
• CT secondary leads are 75 m of AWG No. 10.
BURDEN CHECK:
ANSI/IEEE class C400 requires that the CT can deliver 1 to 20 times the rated secondary current to a standard B-4 burden
(4 Ω or lower) without exceeding a maximum ratio error of 10%.
The maximum allowed burden at the 1500/5 tap is ( 1500 ⁄ 2000 ) × 4 = 3 Ω . Now,
R CT = 0.75 Ω
R r = 0.2 VA- = 0.008 Ω

-----------------
( 5 A )2
3.75 Ω
R L = 2 × 75 m × -------------------- = 2 × 0.26 Ω = 0.528 Ω
1000 m
Therefore, the Total Burden = R CT + R r + R L = 0.75 Ω + 0.008 Ω + 0.52 Ω = 1.28 Ω . This is less than the allowed 3 Ω,
which is OK.
KNEEPOINT VOLTAGE CHECK:
The maximum voltage available from the CT = ( 1500 ⁄ 2000 ) × 400 = 300 V .
The system X/R ratio = tan 78° = 4.71 .
The CT Voltage for maximum phase fault is:
14000 A
V = ----------------------------------- × ( 4.71 + 1 ) × ( 0.75 + 0.26 + 0.008 Ω ) = 271.26 V (< 300 V, which is OK)
ratio of 300:1
The CT Voltage for maximum ground fault is:
12000 A
V = ----------------------------------- × ( 4.71 + 1 ) × ( 0.75 + 0.52 + 0.008 Ω ) = 291.89 V (< 300 V, which is OK)
ratio of 300:1
The CT will provide acceptable performance in this application.
9.1.3 CALCULATION EXAMPLE 2
To check the performance of an IEC CT of class 5P20, 15 VA, ratio 1500:5 A, assume identical parameters as for Example
Number 1.
BURDEN CHECK:
The IEC rating requires the CT deliver up to 20 times the rated secondary current without exceeding a maximum ratio error
of 5%, to a burden of:
15 VA
Burden = ---------------- = 0.6 Ω at the 5 A rated current
( 5 A )2
The total Burden = Rr + Rl = 0.008 + 0.52 = 0.528 Ω, which is less than the allowed 0.6 Ω, which is OK.

Use the procedure shown for Example Number 1 above.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.2 CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL (87L) SETTINGS
9.2CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL (87L) SETTINGS 9.2.1 INTRODUCTION
Software is available from the GE Multilin website that is helpful in selecting settings for the specific appli-
cation. Checking the performance of selected element settings with respect to known power system fault
NOTE
parameters makes it relatively simple to choose the optimum settings for the application.
This software program is also very useful for establishing test parameters. It is strongly recommended this
program be downloaded.
The differential characteristic is primarily defined by four settings: CURRENT DIFF PICKUP, CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 1, CUR-
RENT DIFF RESTRAINT 2, and CURRENT DIFF BREAK PT (Breakpoint). As is typical for current-based differential elements, the
settings are a trade-off between operation on internal faults against restraint during external faults.
9.2.2 CURRENT DIFF PICKUP
This setting established the sensitivity of the element to high impedance faults, and it is therefore desirable to choose a low
level, but this can cause a maloperation for an external fault causing CT saturation. The selection of this setting is influ-
enced by the decision to use charging current compensation. If charging current compensation is Enabled, pickup should
be set to a minimum of 150% of the steady-state line charging current, to a lower limit of 10% of CT rating. If charging cur-
rent compensation is Disabled, pickup should be set to a minimum of 250% of the steady-state line charging current to a
lower limit of 10% of CT rating.
If the CT at one terminal can saturate while the CTs at other terminals do not, this setting should be increased by approxi-
mately 20 to 50% (depending on how heavily saturated the one CT is while the other CTs are not saturated) of CT rating to
prevent operation on a close-in external fault.
9.2.3 CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 1
This setting controls the element characteristic when current is below the breakpoint, where CT errors and saturation
effects are not expected to be significant. The setting is used to provide sensitivity to high impedance internal faults, or
when system configuration limits the fault current to low values. A setting of 10 to 20% is appropriate in most cases, but this
should be raised to 30% if the CTs can perform quite differently during faults.
9.2.4 CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 2
This setting controls the element characteristic when current is above the breakpoint, where CT errors and saturation
effects are expected to be significant. The setting is used to provide security against high current external faults. A setting
of 30 to 40% is appropriate in most cases, but this should be raised to 70% if the CTs can perform quite differently during
faults.
Assigning the CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 1(2) settings to the same value reverts dual slope bias characteristics into
single slope bias characteristics.
NOTE
9.2.5 CURRENT DIFF BREAK POINT
This setting controls the threshold where the relay changes from using the Restraint 1 to the Restraint 2 characteristics,
and is very important. Two approaches can be considered
1. Setting at 150 to 200% of the maximum emergency load current on the line, on the assumption that a maintained cur-
rent above this level is a fault
2. Setting below the current level where CT saturation and spurious transient differential currents can be expected.
9
The first approach gives comparatively more security and less sensitivity; the second approach provides less security for
more sensitivity.

9.2 CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL (87L) SETTINGS 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.2.6 CT TAP
If the CT ratios at the line terminals are different, the CURRENT DIFF CT TAP 1(2) setting must be used to correct the ratios to
a common base. In this case, a user should modify the CURRENT DIFF BREAK PT and CURRENT DIFF PICKUP setting because
the local current phasor is used as a reference to determine which differential equation is to be used based on the value of
local and remote currents. If the setting is not modified, the responses of individual relays, especially during an external
fault, can be asymmetrical, as one relay can be below the breakpoint and the other above the breakpoint. There are two
methods to overcome this potential problem:
1. Set CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 1 and CURRENT DIFF RESTRAINT 2 to the same value (e.g. 40% or 50%). This converts the
relay characteristics from dual slope into single slope and the breakpoint becomes immaterial. Next, adjust differential
pickup at all terminals according to CT ratios, referencing the desired pickup to the line primary current (see below).
2. Set the breakpoints in each relay individually in accordance with the local CT ratio and the CT TAP setting. Next, adjust
the differential pickup setting according to the terminal CT ratios. The slope value must be identical at all terminals.
For example:
• 2-Terminal Configuration: CTRELAY1 = 1000/5 and CTRELAY2 = 2000/5.
Consequently, CT TAP 1RELAY1 = 2 and CT TAP 1RELAY2 = 0.5.
To achieve maximum differential sensitivity, the minimum pickup is set to 0.2 pu at the terminal with a higher CT pri-
mary current, in this case 2000:5. The other terminal pickup is adjusted accordingly: PICKUPRELAY1 = 0.4 and
PICKUPRELAY2 = 0.2
Choosing the RELAY1 as a reference with break point BREAK PTRELAY1 = 5.0, the break point at RELAY2 must be
chosen as BREAK PTRELAY2 = BREAK PTRELAY1 x CTRELAY1 / CTRELAY2 = 2.5. The simple check for this is as follows:
BREAK PTRELAY1 x CTRELAY1 should be equal to BREAK PTRELAY2 x CTRELAY2. As such, BREAK PTRELAY1 = 5.0
and BREAK PTRELAY2 = 2.5.
• 3-Terminal Configuration: CTRELAY1 = 1000/5, CTRELAY2 = 2000/5, and CTRELAY3 = 500/5.
Therefore, CT TAP 1RELAY1 = 2.0, CT TAP 1RELAY2 = 0.5, and CT TAP 1RELAY3 = 2.0
CT TAP 2RELAY1 = 0.5, CT TAP 2RELAY2 = 0.25, and CT TAP 2RELAY3 = 4.0.
where: for RELAY1, Channel 1 communicates to RELAY2 and Channel 2 to RELAY3
for RELAY2, Channel 1 communicates to RELAY1 and Channel 2 to RELAY3
for RELAY3, Channel 1 communicates to RELAY1 and Channel 2 to RELAY2
Consequently, to achieve the maximum sensitivity of 0.2 pu at the terminal with a CT = 2000/5 (400 A line primary dif-
ferential current), PICKUPRELAY1 = 0.4, PICKUPRELAY2 = 0.2, and PICKUPRELAY3 = 0.8.
Choosing RELAY1 as a reference with a break point BREAK PTRELAY1 = 5.0 pu, the break points for RELAY2 and
RELAY3 are determined as follows:
BREAK PTRELAY2 = BREAK PTRELAY1 x CTRELAY1 / CTRELAY2 = 2.5 pu
BREAK PTRELAY3 = BREAK PTRELAY1 x CTRELAY1 / CTRELAY3 = 10.0 pu
Check;
BREAK PTRELAY1 x CTRELAY1 = 5.0 x 1000/5 = 1000
During on-load tests, the differential current at all terminals should be the same and generally equal to the charging
current, if the TAP and CT ratio settings are chosen correctly.

9.2.7 BREAKER-AND-A-HALF
Assume a breaker-and-the-half configuration shown in the figure below. This section provides guidance on configuring the
L90 relay for this application. The L90 is equipped with 2 CT/VT modules: F8F and L8F.

– the CT2 circuitry is connected to the F1 to F3 terminals of the L8F module (3-phase CT inputs, CT bank “L”).
– the VT1 circuitry is connected to the F8 terminals of the F8F module (1-phase VT for Synchrocheck 1, VT bank “F”).
– the VT2 circuitry is connected to the F8 terminals of the L8F module (1-phase VT for Synchrocheck 2, VT bank “L”).
– the VT3 circuitry is connected to the F5 to F7 terminals of the F8F modules (3-phase VT for distance, metering, syn-
chrocheck, charging current compensation, etc.; VT bank “F”).

For Breaker Failure 1 and 2, make the following settings changes (EnerVista UR Setup example shown):
For Synchrocheck 1 and 2, make the following settings changes (EnerVista UR Setup example shown):

9.2.8 DISTRIBUTED BUS PROTECTION
In some cases, buses of the same substation are located quite far from each other or even separated by the line. In these
cases, it is challenging to apply conventional bus protection because of the CT cable length. In other cases, there are no
CTs available on the line side of the line to be protected. Taking full advantage of L90 capability to support up to 4 directly-
connected CTs, the relay can be applied to protect both line and buses as shown below. Proper CT/VT modules must be
ordered for such applications. The varying CT ratios at the breakers can be compensated locally by using the sources
mechanism and with the CT TAP settings between remote relays. If more than 4 but less than 8 CTs are to be connected to
the L90 at one bus, the 3-terminal system can be applied, provided the user does not exceed a total of 12 CTs.

9.3 CHANNEL ASYMMETRY COMPENSATION USING GPS 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.3CHANNEL ASYMMETRY COMPENSATION USING GPS 9.3.1 DESCRIPTION
As indicated in the SETTINGS chapter, the L90 provides three basic methods of applying channel asymmetry compensa-
tion using GPS. Channel asymmetry can also be monitored with actual values and an indication signalled (FlexLogic™
operands 87L DIFF 1(2) MAX ASYM asserted) if channel asymmetry exceeds preset values. Depending on the imple-
mented relaying philosophy, the relay can be programmed to perform the following on the loss of the GPS signal:
1. Enable GPS compensation on the loss of the GPS signal at any terminal and continue to operate the 87L element
(using the memorized value of the last asymmetry) until a change in the channel round-trip delay is detected.
2. Enable GPS compensation on the loss of the GPS signal at any terminal and block the 87L element after a specified
time.
3. Continuously operate the 87L element but only enable GPS compensation when valid GPS signals are available. This
provides less sensitive protection on the loss of the GPS signal at any terminal and runs with higher pickup and
restraint settings.
9.3.2 COMPENSATION METHOD 1
Enable GPS compensation on the loss of the GPS signal at any terminal and continue to operate the 87L element until a
change in the channel round-trip delay is detected.
If GPS is enabled at all terminals and the GPS signal is present, the L90 compensates for the channel asymmetry. On the
loss of the GPS signal, the L90 stores the last measured value of the channel asymmetry per channel and compensates for
the asymmetry until the GPS clock is available. However, if the channel was switched to another physical path during GPS
loss conditions, the 87L element must be blocked, since the channel asymmetry cannot be measured and system is no
longer accurately synchronized. The value of the step change in the channel is preset in L90 POWER SYSTEM settings menu
and signaled by the 87L DIFF 1(2) TIME CHNG FlexLogic™ operand. To implement this method, follow the steps below:
1. Enable Channel Asymmetry compensation by setting it to ON. Assign the GPS receiver failsafe alarm contact with the
setting Block GPS Time Ref.
2. Create FlexLogic™ similar to that shown below to block the 87L element on GPS loss if step change in the channel
delay occurs during GPS loss conditions or on a startup before the GPS signal is valid. For three-terminal systems, the
87L DIFF 1 TIME CHNG operand must be ORed with the 87L DIFF 2 TIME CHNG FlexLogic™ operand. The Block
87L (VO1) output is reset if the GPS signal is restored and the 87L element is ready to operate.

3. Assign virtual output BLOCK 87L (VO1) to the 87L Current Differential Block setting. It can be used to enable backup
protection, raise an alarm, and perform other functions as per the given protection philosophy.
Enable GPS compensation on the loss of the GPS signal at any terminal and block the 87L element after a specified time.
This is a simple and conservative way of using the GPS feature. Follow steps 1 and 3 in Compensation Method 1. The
FlexLogic™ is simple: 87L DIFF GPS FAIL-Timer-Virtual Output Block 87L (VO1). It is recommended that the timer be set
no higher than 10 seconds.
Continuously operate the 87L element but enable GPS compensation only when valid GPS signals are available. This pro-
vides less sensitive protection on GPS signal loss at any terminal and runs with higher pickup and restraint settings.
This approach can be used carefully if maximum channel asymmetry is known and doesn't exceed certain values (2.0 to
2.5 ms). The 87L DIFF MAX ASYM operand can be used to monitor and signal maximum channel asymmetry. Essentially,
the L90 switches to another setting group with higher pickup and restraint settings, sacrificing sensitivity to keep the 87L
function operational.
1. Create FlexLogic™ similar to that shown below to switch the 87L element to Settings Group 2 (with most sensitive set-
tings) if the L90 has a valid GPS time reference. If a GPS or 87L communications failure occurs, the L90 will switch
back to Settings Group 1 with less sensitive settings.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.4 DISTANCE BACKUP/SUPERVISION
9.4DISTANCE BACKUP/SUPERVISION 9.4.1 DESCRIPTION
Many high voltage lines have transformers tapped to the line serving as an economic approach to the supply of customer
load. A typical configuration is shown in the figure below.
Terminal 1 Terminal 2
831021A1.CDR
Figure 9–3: TYPICAL HV LINE CONFIGURATION

Two distinctly different approaches are available, Distance Backup and Distance Supervision, depending on which con-
cerns are dominant. In either case, the distance function can provide a definite time backup feature to give a timed clear-
ance for a failure of the L90 communications. Additionally, a POTT (Permissive Over-reaching Transfer Trip) scheme can
be selected and activated after detection of an L90 communications failure, if an alternate lower bandwidth communications
channel is available.
If Distance Backup is employed, dependability concerns usually relate to a failure of the communications. The distance
elements can then effectively provide a means of fault identification and clearance. However, for a line with tapped trans-
formers, a number of other issues need to be considered to ensure stability for the L90.
Any differential scheme has a potential problem when a LV fault occurs at the tapped transformer location, and the current
at the tap is not measured. Because the transformer size can become quite large, the required increase in the differential
setting to avoid operation for the LV bus fault can result in a loss of sensitivity.
If the tapped transformer is a source of zero sequence infeed, then the L90 zero-sequence current removal has to enabled
as described in the next section.
The zero sequence infeed creates an apparent impedance setting issue for the backup ground distance and the zero
sequence compensation term is also not accurate, so that the positive sequence reach setting must be increased to com-
pensate. The phase distance reach setting may also have to be increased to cope with a transfer across the two transform-
ers, but this is dependent on the termination and configuration of the parallel line.
Three terminal line applications generally will result in larger reach settings for the distance backup and require a calcula-
tion of the apparent impedance for a remote fault. This should be carried out for each of the three terminals, as the calcu-
lated apparent impedance will be different at each terminal.
Distance Supervision essentially offers a solution for the LV fault condition, but the differential setting must still be
increased to avoid operation for an external L-g or L-L-g fault external ground fault. In addition, the distance element reach
setting must still see all faults within the protected line and be less than the impedance for a LV bus fault
The effective SIR (source impedance ratio) for the LV fault generally is not high, so that CVT transients do not contribute to
measuring errors.
If the distance supervision can be set to avoid operation for a transformer LV fault, then generally the filtering associated
with the distance measuring algorithm will ensure no operation under magnetizing inrush conditions. The distance element
can be safely set up to 2.5 × Vnom / Ipeak, where Vnom is the system nominal voltage and Ipeak is the peak value of the mag-
netizing inrush current. 9
For those applications where the tapped station is close to one terminal, then it may be difficult to set the distance supervi-
sion to reach the end of the line, and at the same time avoid operation for a LV fault. For this system configuration, a 3-ter-
minal L90 should be utilized; the third terminal is then fed from CT on the high side of the tapped transformer.

9.4 DISTANCE BACKUP/SUPERVISION 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.4.2 PHASE DISTANCE
a) PHASE CURRENT SUPERVISION AND THE FUSE FAILURE ELEMENT

The phase-to-phase (delta) current is used to supervise the phase distance element, primarily to ensure that in a de-ener-
gized state the distance element will not be picked up due to noise or induced voltages, on the line.
However, this supervision feature may also be employed to prevent operation under fuse failure conditions. This obviously
requires that the setting must be above maximum load current and less than the minimum fault conditions for which opera-
tion is expected. This potential problem may be avoided by the use of a separate fuse fail function, which means that the
phase current supervision can be set much lower, typically 2 times the capacitance charging current of the line.
The usage of the fuse fail function is also important during double-contingency events such as an external fault during fuse
fail conditions. The current supervision alone would not prevent maloperation in such circumstances.
It must be kept in mind that the Fuse Failure element provided on the L90 needs some time to detect fuse fail conditions.
This may create a race between the Zone 2 and the Fuse Failure element. Therefore, for maximum security, it is recom-
mended to both set the current supervision above the maximum load current and use the Fuse Failure function. The current
supervision prevents maloperation immediately after the fuse fail condition giving some time for the Fuse Failure element to
take over and block the distance elements permanently. This is of a secondary importance for time-delayed Zone 2 as the
Fuse Failure element has some extra time for guaranteed operation. The current supervision may be set below the maxi-
mum load current for the time delayed zones.
Blocking distance elements during fuse fail conditions may not be acceptable in some applications and/or under some pro-
tection philosophies. Applied solutions may vary from not using the Fuse Failure element for blocking at all; through using it
and modifying – through FlexLogic™ and multiple setting groups mechanisms – other protection functions or other relays to
provide some protection after detecting fuse fail conditions and blocking the distance elements; to using it and accepting
the fact that the distance protection will not respond to subsequent internal faults until the problem is addressed.
To be fully operational, the Fuse Failure element must be enabled, and its output FlexLogic™ operand must be indi-
cated as the blocking signal for the selected protection elements.
NOTE
For convenience, the current supervision threshold incorporates the 3 factor.
b) PHASE DISTANCE ZONE 2

The Zone 2 is an overreaching element, which essentially covers the whole of the line length with a time delay. The addi-
tional function for the Zone 2 is as a timed backup for faults on the remote bus. Typically the reach is set to 125% of the
positive sequence impedance of the line, to ensure operation, with an adequate margin, for a fault at 100% of the line
length. The necessary time delay must ensure that coordination is achieved with the clearance of a close-in fault on the
next line section, including the breaker operating time.
9.4.3 GROUND DISTANCE
a) NEUTRAL CURRENT SUPERVISION

The current supervision for the ground distance elements responds to an internally calculated neutral current (3 x I_0). The
setting for this element should be based on twice the zero-sequence line capacitance current or the maximum zero-
sequence unbalance under maximum load conditions. This element should not be used to prevent an output when the load
impedance is inside the distance characteristic on a steady state basis.
b) GROUND DISTANCE ZONE 2

To ensure that the Zone 2 can see 100% of the line, inter-circuit mutual effects must be considered, as they can contribute
to a significant under-reach. Typically this may occur on double circuit lines, when both lines may carry the same current.
9 An analytical study should be carried out to determine the appropriate reach setting.
The main purpose of this element is to operate for faults beyond the reach of the local Zone 1 element, and therefore a time
delay must be used similar to the phase fault case.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.5 POTT SIGNALING SCHEME
9.5POTT SIGNALING SCHEME 9.5.1 DESCRIPTION
This scheme is intended for two-terminal line applications only.

This scheme uses an over-reaching Zone 2 distance element to essentially compare the direction to a fault at both the ends
of the line.
Ground directional overcurrent functions available in the relay can be used in conjunction with the Zone 2 distance element
to key the scheme and initiate its operation. This provides increased coverage for high-resistance faults.
Good directional integrity is the key requirement for an over-reaching forward-looking protection element used to supple-
ment Zone 2. Even though any FlexLogic™ operand could be used for this purpose allowing the user to combine
responses of various protection elements, or to apply extra conditions through FlexLogic™ equations, this extra signal is
primarily meant to be the output operand from the Neutral Directional IOC. Both of these elements have separate forward
(FWD) and reverse (REV) output operands. The forward indication should be used (NEUTRAL DIR OC1 FWD).
An important consideration is when one of the line terminals is open. It is then necessary to identify this condition and
arrange for a continuous sending of the permissive signal or use a slower but more secure echo feature to send a signal to
the other terminal, which is producing the fault infeed. With any echo scheme however, a means must be provided to avoid
a permanent lock up of the transmit/receive loop. The echo co-ordination (ECHO DURATION) and lock-out (ECHO LOCK-
OUT) timers perform this function by ensuring that the permissive signal is echoed once for a guaranteed duration of time
before going to a lockout for a settable period of time.
It should be recognized that in ring bus or breaker and a half situations, it may be the line disconnect or a combination of
the disconnect and/or the breaker(s) status that is the indication that the terminal is open.
The POTT RX PICKUP DELAY timer is included in the permissive receive path to ride through spurious receive outputs that
may be produced during external faults, when power line carrier is utilized as the communications medium.
No current reversal logic is included for the overreaching phase and ground distance elements, because long reaches are
not usually required for two terminal lines. A situation can occur however, where the ground distance element will have an
extended reach. This situation is encountered when it is desired to account for the zero sequence inter-circuit mutual cou-
pling. This is not a problem for the ground distance elements in the L90 which do have a current reversal logic built into
their design as part of the technique used to improve ground fault directionality.
Unlike the distance protection elements the ground directional overcurrent functions do not have their reach well defined,
therefore the current reversal logic is incorporated for the extra signal supplementing Zone 2 in the scheme. The transient
blocking approach for this POTT scheme is to recognize that a permissive signal has been received and then allow a setta-
ble time TRANS BLOCK PICKUP DELAY for the local forward looking directional element to pick up.
The scheme generates an output operand (POTT TX) that is used to transmit the signal to the remote end. Choices of com-
munications channel include Remote Inputs/Outputs and telecommunications interfaces. When used with telecommunica-
tions facilities the output operand should be assigned to operate an output contact connected to key the transmitter at the
interface. Power Line Carrier (PLC) channels are not recommended for this scheme since the PLC signal can be inter-
rupted by a fault.
For proper operation of the scheme the Zone 2 phase and ground distance elements must be enabled, configured and set
per rules of distance relaying. The Line Pickup element should be enabled, configured and set properly to detect line-end-
open/weak-infeed conditions.
If used by this scheme, the selected ground directional overcurrent function(s) must be enabled, configured and set accord-
ingly The output operand from the scheme (POTT OP) must be configured to interface with other relay functions, output
contacts in particular, in order to make the scheme fully operational. Typically, the output operand should be programmed to
initiate a trip, breaker fail, and auto-reclose, and drive a user-programmable LED as per user application.

Traditionally, the reach setting of an underreaching distance function shall be set based on the net inductive impedance
between the potential source of the relay and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. Faults
behind series capacitors on the protected and adjacent lines need to be considered for this purpose. For further illustration
a sample system shown in the figure below is considered.

Figure 9–4: SAMPLE SERIES COMPENSATED SYSTEM
Assuming 20% security margin, the underreaching zone shall be set as follows.
At the Sending Bus, one must consider an external fault at F1 as the 5 Ω capacitor would contribute to the overreaching
effect. Any fault behind F1 is less severe as extra inductive line impedance increases the apparent impedance:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 3 – 5) = 1.6 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 5) = –1.6 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
The negative value means that an underreaching zone cannot be used as the circuit between the potential source of the
relay and an external fault for which the relay must not pick-up, is overcompensated, i.e. capacitive.
At the Receiving Bus, one must consider a fault at F2:
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 2) = 3.2 Ω if the line-side (B) VTs are used
Reach Setting: 0.8 x (10 – 4 – 3 – 2) = 0.8 Ω if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
Practically, however, to cope with the effect of sub-synchronous oscillations, one may need to reduce the reach even more.
As the characteristics of sub-synchronous oscillations are in complex relations with fault and system parameters, no solid
setting recommendations are given with respect to extra security margin for sub-synchronous oscillations. It is strongly rec-
ommended to use a power system simulator to verify the reach settings or to use an adaptive L90 feature for dynamic
reach control.
If the adaptive reach control feature is used, the PHS DIST Z1 VOLT LEVEL setting shall be set accordingly.
This setting is a sum of the overvoltage protection levels for all the series capacitors located between the relay potential
source and the far-end busbar, or location for which the zone must not overreach. The setting is entered in pu of the phase
VT nominal voltage (RMS, not peak value).
If a minimum fault current level (phase current) is causing a voltage drop across a given capacitor that prompts its air gap to
flash over or its MOV to carry practically all the current, then the series capacitor shall be excluded from the calculations
(the capacitor is immediately by-passed by its overvoltage protection system and does not cause any overreach problems).
If a minimum fault current does not guarantee an immediate capacitor by-pass, then the capacitor must be included in the
calculation: its overvoltage protection level, either air gap flash-over voltage or MOV knee-point voltage, shall be used
(RMS, not peak value).
9 Assuming none of the series capacitors in the sample system is guaranteed to get by-passed, the following calculations
apply:
For the Sending Bus: 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.2 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.7 = 1.8 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used
For the Receiving Bus: 0.6 + 0.5 = 1.1 pu if the line-side (B) VTs are used
0.6 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.6 pu if the bus-side (A) VTs are used

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.6 SERIES COMPENSATED LINES
9.6.2 GROUND DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT
Ground directional overcurrent function (negative-sequence or neutral) uses an offset impedance to guarantee correct fault
direction discrimination. The following setting rules apply.
1. If the net impedance between the potential source and the local equivalent system is inductive, then there is no need
for an offset. Otherwise, the offset impedance shall be at least the net capacitive reactance.
2. The offset cannot be higher than the net inductive reactance between the potential source and the remote equivalent
system. For simplicity and extra security, the far-end busbar may be used rather than the remote equivalent system.
As the ground directional functions are meant to provide maximum fault resistance coverage, it is justified to assume that
the fault current is very low and none of the series capacitors is guaranteed to get by-passed. Consider settings of the neg-
ative-sequence directional overcurrent protection element for the Sample Series Compensated System.
For the Sending Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from the relay into the local system = –2 + 3 = 1 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –4 + 10 – 3 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 1.5 Ω offset impedance.
For the Sending Bus relay, line-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –2 + 3 – 4 = –3 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥3 Ω must be used.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 3 = 7 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 7 Ω.
• It is recommended to use 5 Ω offset impedance.
For the Receiving Bus relay, bus-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –5 + 7 = 2 Ω > 0; there is no need for offset.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = –3 + 10 – 4 = 3 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 3 Ω.
For the Receiving Bus relay, line-side VTs:
• Net inductive reactance from relay into local system = –3 – 5 + 7 = –1 Ω < 0; an offset impedance ≥1 Ω must be used.
• Net inductive reactance from relay through far-end busbar = 10 – 4 = 6 Ω; the offset cannot be higher than 6 Ω.

9.7 LINES WITH TAPPED TRANSFORMERS 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.7LINES WITH TAPPED TRANSFORMERS 9.7.1 DESCRIPTION
The L90 protection system could be applied to lines with tapped transformer(s) even if the latter has its windings connected
in a grounded wye on the line side and the transformer(s) currents are not measured by the L90 protection system. The fol-
lowing approach is recommended.
If the setting SYSTEM SETUP L90 POWER SYSTEM ZERO-SEQ CURRENT REMOVAL is “Enabled”, all relays at the line ter-
minals are calculating zero-sequence for both local and remote currents and are removing this current from the phase cur-
rents. This ensures the differential current is immune to the zero-sequence current outfeed caused by the in-zone
transformer with a primary wye-connected winding solidly grounded neutral.
At all terminals the following is being performed:
I_L_0 = (I_L_A + I_L_B + I_L_C) / 3) : local zero-sequence current
I_R_0 = (I_R_A + I_R_B + I_R_C) / 3 : remote zero-sequence current
Now, the I_PHASE – I_0 values (for Local and Remote) are being used instead of pure phase currents for differential and
restraint current calculations. See the Theory of Operation chapter for additional details.
For example, the operating current in phase A is determined as:
I2op_A = |(I_L_A – I_L_0) + (I_R_A – I_R_0) |2 : squared operating current, phase A
where: I_L_A = "local" current phase A
I_R_A = "remote" current phase A
I_L_0 = local zero-sequence current
I_R_0 = remote zero-sequence current
I2op_A = operating (differential) squared current phase A
The restraint current is calculated in a similar way.
When the ZERO-SEQ CURRENT REMOVAL feature is enabled, the modified (I_0 removed) differential current in all
three phases is shown in the ACTUAL VALUES METERING 87L DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT menu. Local and remote
NOTE
currents values are not changed.
9.7.2 TRANSFORMER LOAD CURRENTS
As the tapped line may be energized from one terminal only, or there may be a low current flowing through the line, the
slope setting of the differential characteristic would not guarantee stability of the relay on transformer load currents. Conse-
quently, a pickup setting must be risen accordingly in order to prevent maloperation. The L90 forms its restraint current in a
unique way as explained in Chapter 8. Unlike traditional approaches, the effects of slope and pickup settings are combined:
the higher the slope, the lower the pickup setting required for the same restraining effect.
Assuming the line energized from one terminal and the current is below the lower break-point of the characteristic one
should consider the following stability conditions in order to select the pickup (P) and slope (S1) settings (ILOAD is a maxi-
mum total load current of the tapped transformer(s)).
• Two-terminal applications: • Three-terminal applications:

9 The above calculations should take into account the requirement for the pickup setting resulting from line charging currents.
Certainly, a security factor must be applied to the above stability conditions. Alternatively, distance supervision can be con-
sidered to prevent maloperation due to transformer load currents.

9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 9.7 LINES WITH TAPPED TRANSFORMERS
9.7.3 LV-SIDE FAULTS
Distance supervision should be used to prevent maloperation of the L90 protection system during faults on the LV side of
the transformer(s). As explained in the Distance Backup/Supervision section of this Chapter, the distance elements should
be set to overreach all the line terminals and at the same time safely underreach the LV busbars of all the tapped transform-
ers. This may present some challenge particularly for long lines and large transformer tapped close to the substations. If the
L90 system retrofits distance relays, there is a good chance that one can set the distance elements to satisfy the imposed
requirements.
If more than one transformer is tapped, particularly on parallel lines, and the LV sides are interconnected, detailed short cir-
cuit studies may be needed to determine the distance settings.
9.7.4 EXTERNAL GROUND FAULTS
External ground faults behind the line terminals will be seen by the overreaching distance elements. At the same time, the
tapped transformer(s), if connected in a grounded wye, will feed the zero-sequence current. This current is going to be
seen at one L90 terminal only, will cause a spurious differential signal, and consequently, may cause maloperation.
The L90 ensures stability in such a case by removing the zero-sequence current from the phase cur-rents prior to calculat-
ing the operating and restraining signals (SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP L90 POWER SYSTEM ZERO-SEQ CURRENT
REMOVAL = “Enabled”). Removing the zero-sequence component from the phase currents may cause the L90 to overtrip
healthy phases on internal ground fault. This is not a limitation, as the single-pole tripping is not recommended for lines with
tapped transformers.

9.8 INSTANTANEOUS ELEMENTS 9 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
9.8INSTANTANEOUS ELEMENTS 9.8.1 INSTANTANEOUS ELEMENT ERROR DURING L90 SYNCHRONIZATION
As explained in the Theory of Operation chapter, two or three L90 relays are synchronized to each other and to system fre-
quency to provide digital differential protection and accurate measurements for other protection and control functions.
When an L90 system is starting up, the relays adjust their frequency aggressively to bring all relays into synchronization
with the system quickly. The tracking frequency can differ from nominal (or system frequency) by a few Hertz, especially
during the first second of synchronization. The 87L function is blocked during synchronization; therefore, the difference
between system frequency and relay sampling frequency does not affect 87L function. However, instantaneous elements
have additional error caused by the sensitivity of Fourier phasor estimation to the difference between signal frequency and
tracking frequency.
To secure instantaneous element operation, it is recommended either to use FlexLogic™ as shown below to block the
instantaneous elements during synchronization, or to use a different setting group with more conservative pickup for this
brief interval.
Figure 9–5: FLEXLOGIC™ TO BLOCK INSTANTANEOUS ELEMENT DURING 87L STARTUP

The elements must be treated selectively. If, for example, the phase undervoltage setting includes margin sufficient to
accommodate the maximum additional error on startup, blocking or delay are not needed for phase undervoltage. Similarly,
if the phase instantaneous overcurrent setting has sufficient margin, blocking is not needed. Note that significant zero-
sequence and negative-sequence current or voltage error will not appear during L90 startup, therefore all elements using
these quantities are safe.
The table below indicates the maximum error and recommended block durations for different elements.

The Local Loopback Channel Test verifies the L90 communication modules are working properly. The Remote Loopback

verified by using the internal channel monitoring and the monitoring in the Channel Tests. All of the tests presented in this

1. Verify that a type “W” module is placed in slot ‘W’ in both relays (e.g. W7J).
2. Interconnect the two relays using the proper media (e.g. single mode fiber cable) observing correct connection of
receiving (Rx) and transmitting (Tx) communications paths and turn power on to both relays.
3. Verify that the Order Code in both relays is correct.
4. Cycle power off/on in both relays.

test successfully completed and communications with the relay were successfully established. The
“Remote Loopback Test FAILED” message indicates that either the communication link quality does

17. Verify and record that Remote Loopback Test fails during communications failures as follows: start test as per Steps 13
to 14 and in 2 to 5 seconds disconnect the fiber Rx cable on the corresponding channel.
Expected result: The "Running Remote Loopback Test" message appears. When the channel is momentarily cut off,
the "Remote Loopback Test FAILED" message is displayed. The status check should read as fol-
lows: ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS CHANNEL 1(2) LOCAL LOOPBACK STATUS: "Fail"
18. Re-connect the fiber Rx cable. Repeat Steps 13 to 14 and verify that Remote Loopback Test performs properly again.
19. Verify and record that Remote Loopback Test fails if communications are not connected properly by disconnecting the
fiber Rx cable and repeating Steps 13 to 14.
Expected result: The ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS CHANNEL 1(2) REMOTE LOOPBACK TEST:
"Fail" message should be constantly on the display.
20. Repeat Steps 13 to 14 and verify that Remote Loopback Test is correct.

tions equipment (if applicable) should be checked.
10.1.2 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION TESTS
The 87L clock synchronization is based upon a peer-to-peer architecture in which all relays are Masters. The relays are
synchronized in a distributed fashion. The clocks are phase synchronized to each other and frequency synchronized to the
power system frequency. The performance requirement for the clock synchronization is a maximum error of ±130 μs.
All tests are verified by using PFLL status displays. All PFLL status displays must be either OK or Fail.
1. Ensure that Steps 1 through 7 inclusive of the previous section are completed.
2. Verify and record that both relays have established communications with the following checks after 60 to 120 seconds:
ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS CHANNEL 1(2) STATUS: “OK”
ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS REMOTE LOOPBACK STATUS: “n/a”
ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS PFLL STATUS: “OK”
3. Disconnect the fiber Channel 1(2) Tx cable for less than 66 ms (not possible with direct fiber module).
Expected result: ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS CHANNEL 1(2) STATUS: “OK”
If fault conditions are applied to the relay during these tests, it trips with a specified 87L operation time.
4. Disconnect the fiber Channel 1(2) Tx cable for more than 66 ms but less than 5 seconds.
If fault conditions are applied to the relay (after the channel is brought back) during these tests, it trips with a specified
87L operation time plus 50 to 80 ms required for establishing PFLL after such interruption.
5. Disconnect the fiber Channel 1(2) Tx cable for more than 5 seconds.
ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS PFLL STATUS: “Fail”
6. Reconnect the fiber Channel 1(2) Tx cable and in 6 to 8 seconds confirm that the relays have re-established communi-
cations again with the following status checks:
ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS CHANNEL 1(2) STATUS: “OK”
10 ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS PFLL STATUS: “OK”

10 COMMISSIONING 10.1 TESTING
7. Apply a current of 0.5 pu at a frequency 1 to 3% higher or lower than nominal only to local relay phase A to verify that
frequency tracking will not affect PFLL when only one relay has a current input and both relays track frequency. Wait
200 seconds and verify the following:
ACTUAL VALUES METERING TRACKING FREQUENCY TRACKING FREQUENCY: actual frequency at both relays
For 3-terminal configuration, the above-indicated tests should be carried out accordingly.
NOTE
10.1.3 CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL
The 87L element has adaptive restraint and dual slope characteristics. The pickup slope settings and the breakpoint set-
tings determine the element characteristics. The relay displays both local and remote current magnitudes and angles and
the differential current which helps with start-up activities. When a differential condition is detected, the output operands
from the element will be asserted along with energization of faceplate event indicators.
1. Ensure that relay will not issue any undesired signals to other equipment.
2. Ensure that relays are connected to the proper communication media, communications tests have been performed
and the CHANNEL and PFLL STATUS displays indicate OK.
3. Minimum pickup test with local current only:
• Ensure that all 87L setting are properly entered into the relay and connect a test set to the relay to inject current
into Phase A.
• Slowly increase the current until the relay operates and note the pickup value. The theoretical value of operating
current below the breakpoint is given by the following formula, where P is the pickup setting and S1 is the Slope 1
setting (in decimal format):
2
P
I op = 2 × ------------------2- (EQ 10.1)
1 – 2S 1
• Repeat the above test for different slope and pickup settings, if desired.
• Repeat the above tests for Phases B and C.
4. Minimum pickup test with local current and simulated remote current (pure internal fault simulation):
• Disconnect the local relay from the communications channel.
• Loop back the transmit signal to the receive input on the back of the relay.
• Wait until the CHANNEL and PFLL status displays indicate OK.
• Slowly increase the current until the relay operates and note the pickup value. The theoretical value of operating
current below breakpoint is given by the following formula:
2
2P
I op = -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- (EQ 10.2)
2 2 2
( 1 + TAP ) – 2S 1 ( 1 + TAP )
where TAP represents the CT Tap setting for the corresponding channel.
• Repeat the above test for different slope and pickup settings, if desired.
• During the tests, observe the current phasor at ACTUAL VALUES METERING 87L DIFF CURRENT LOCAL IA.
This phasor should also be seen at ACTUAL VALUES METERING 87L DIFF CURRENT TERMINAL 1(2) IA along
with a phasor of twice the magnitude at ACTUAL VALUES METERING 87L DIFF CURRENT IA DIFF.
• Repeat the above tests for Phases B and C.

• Restore the communication circuits to normal.

10.1.4 LOCAL-REMOTE RELAY TESTS
a) DIRECT TRANSFER TRIP (DTT) TESTS

The direct transfer trip is a function by which one relay sends a signal to a remote relay to cause a trip of remote equipment.
The local relay trip outputs will close upon receiving a Direct Transfer Trip from the remote relay.
TEST PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure that relay will not issue any undesired signals to other equipment and all previous tests have been completed
successfully.
2. Cycle power off/on in both relays.
3. Verify and record that both relays indicate In Service on the faceplate display.
4. Make the following setting change in the SETTINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS LINE DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENTS CUR-
RENT DIFFERENTIAL menu of both relays:
CURRENT DIFF FUNCTION: “Enabled”
5. Verify and record that both relays have established communications by performing the following status check thorough
the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CHANNEL TESTS menu:
CHANNEL 1(2) STATUS: “OK”
6. At the remote relay, make the following changes in the SETTINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS LINE DIFFERENTIAL ELE-
MENTS CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL menu:
CURRENT DIFF DTT: “Enabled”
7. At the Local relay, make the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUT N1 menu:
CONTACT OUTPUT N1 OPERATE: “87L DIFF RECVD DTT A”
CONTACT OUTPUT N2 OPERATE: “87L DIFF RECVD DTT B”
CONTACT OUTPUT N3 OPERATE: “87L DIFF RECVD DTT C”
8. At the Local relay, verify that ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CONTACT OUTPUTS Cont Op N1 is in the “Off” state.
9. Apply current to phase A of the remote relay and increase until 87L operates.
10. At the Local relay, observe ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CONTACT OUTPUTS Cont Op N1 is now in the “On” state.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for phases A and B and observe Contact Outputs N2 and N3, respectively.
12. Repeat steps 8 through 11 with the Remote and Local relays inter-changed.
13. Make the following setting change in the SETTINGS GROUPED ELEMENTS LINE DIFFERENTIAL ELEMENTS CUR-
RENT DIFFERENTIAL menu of both relays:
CURRENT DIFF FUNCTION: “Disabled”
14. At the Remote relay, set SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUT N1 CONTACT OUTPUT N1 OPERATE to
the CURRENT DIFF KEY DTT operand.
15. At the Local relay, observe under the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CONTACT OUTPUTS menu that CONTACT OUTPUT
N1, N2 and N3 are “Off”.
16. At the Remote relay, set SETTINGS TESTING FORCE CONTACT INPUTS FORCE Cont Ip N1 to “Closed”.
17. At the Local relay, observe under ACTUAL VALUES STATUS CONTACT OUTPUTS that CONTACT OUTPUT N1, N2 and
N3 are now “On”.
18. At both the Local and Remote relays, return all settings to normal.
b) FINAL TESTS
As proper operation of the relay is fundamentally dependent on the correct installation and wiring of the CTs, it must be con-
firmed that correct data is brought into the relays by an on-load test in which simultaneous measurements of current and
voltage phasors are made at all line terminals. These phasors and differential currents can be monitored at the ACTUAL VAL-
10 UES METERING 87L DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT menu where all current magnitudes and angles can be observed and con-
clusions of proper relay interconnections can be made.

APPENDIX B B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL
APPENDIX B MODBUS COMMUNICATIONSB.1MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL B.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The UR-series relays support a number of communications protocols to allow connection to equipment such as personal
computers, RTUs, SCADA masters, and programmable logic controllers. The Modicon Modbus RTU protocol is the most
basic protocol supported by the UR. Modbus is available via RS232 or RS485 serial links or via ethernet (using the Mod-
bus/TCP specification). The following description is intended primarily for users who wish to develop their own master com-
munication drivers and applies to the serial Modbus RTU protocol. Note that:
• The UR always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications; it only listens and responds to B
requests issued by a master computer.
• For Modbus®, a subset of the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) protocol format is supported that allows extensive monitor-
ing, programming, and control functions using read and write register commands.
B.1.2 PHYSICAL LAYER
The Modbus® RTU protocol is hardware-independent so that the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hard-
ware configurations including RS232 and RS485. The relay includes a faceplate (front panel) RS232 port and two rear ter-
minal communications ports that may be configured as RS485, fiber optic, 10BaseT, or 10BaseF. Data flow is half-duplex in
all configurations. See Chapter 3 for details on wiring.
Each data byte is transmitted in an asynchronous format consisting of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and possibly 1 parity
bit. This produces a 10 or 11 bit data frame. This can be important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit
data frames are not supported by many modems at baud rates greater than 300).
The baud rate and parity are independently programmable for each communications port. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 33600, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps are available. Even, odd, and no parity are avail-
able. Refer to the Communications section of Chapter 5 for further details.
The master device in any system must know the address of the slave device with which it is to communicate. The relay will
not act on a request from a master if the address in the request does not match the relay’s slave address (unless the
address is the broadcast address – see below).
A single setting selects the slave address used for all ports, with the exception that for the faceplate port, the relay will
accept any address when the Modbus® RTU protocol is used.
B.1.3 DATA LINK LAYER
Communications takes place in packets which are groups of asynchronously framed byte data. The master transmits a
packet to the slave and the slave responds with a packet. The end of a packet is marked by ‘dead-time’ on the communica-
tions line. The following describes general format for both transmit and receive packets. For exact details on packet format-
ting, refer to subsequent sections describing each function code.
Table B–1: MODBUS PACKET FORMAT

DESCRIPTION SIZE
SLAVE ADDRESS 1 byte
FUNCTION CODE 1 byte
DATA N bytes
CRC 2 bytes
DEAD TIME 3.5 bytes transmission time
• SLAVE ADDRESS: This is the address of the slave device that is intended to receive the packet sent by the master
and to perform the desired action. Each slave device on a communications bus must have a unique address to prevent
bus contention. All of the relay’s ports have the same address which is programmable from 1 to 254; see Chapter 5 for
details. Only the addressed slave will respond to a packet that starts with its address. Note that the faceplate port is an
exception to this rule; it will act on a message containing any slave address.
A master transmit packet with slave address 0 indicates a broadcast command. All slaves on the communication link
take action based on the packet, but none respond to the master. Broadcast mode is only recognized when associated
with Function Code 05h. For any other function code, a packet with broadcast mode slave address 0 will be ignored.
GE Multilin L90 Line Differential Relay B-1

B.1 MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL APPENDIX B
• FUNCTION CODE: This is one of the supported functions codes of the unit which tells the slave what action to per-
form. See the Supported Function Codes section for complete details. An exception response from the slave is indi-
cated by setting the high order bit of the function code in the response packet. See the Exception Responses section
for further details.
• DATA: This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the function code. This may include actual values, set-
tings, or addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master.
• CRC: This is a two byte error checking code. The RTU version of Modbus® includes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check
B (CRC-16) with every packet which is an industry standard method used for error detection. If a Modbus slave device
receives a packet in which an error is indicated by the CRC, the slave device will not act upon or respond to the packet
thus preventing any erroneous operations. See the CRC-16 Algorithm section for details on calculating the CRC.
• DEAD TIME: A packet is terminated when no data is received for a period of 3.5 byte transmission times (about 15 ms
at 2400 bps, 2 ms at 19200 bps, and 300 µs at 115200 bps). Consequently, the transmitting device must not allow gaps
between bytes longer than this interval. Once the dead time has expired without a new byte transmission, all slaves
start listening for a new packet from the master except for the addressed slave.
B.1.4 CRC-16 ALGORITHM
The CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored) as one contin-
uous binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16 bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the packet, MSByte first. The
resulting packet including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no trans-
mission errors have occurred. This algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The most sig-
nificant bit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped, since it does not affect the value of the remainder.
A C programming language implementation of the CRC algorithm will be provided upon request.

Modbus® officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.

06 6 Preset Single Register Store Single Setting
10 16 Preset Multiple Registers Store Multiple Settings
B.2.2 READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 03/04H)
This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
Data registers are always 16 bit (two byte) values transmitted with high order byte first. The maximum number of registers
that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the Modbus Memory Map table for exact details on the data registers.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus® only support one of function codes 03h and 04h, the relay interpretation
allows either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will
determine the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device requesting 3
register values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the values 40,
300, and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.

B.2.6 EXCEPTION RESPONSES
Programming or operation errors usually happen because of illegal data in a packet. These errors result in an exception
response from the slave. The slave detecting one of these errors sends a response packet to the master with the high order
bit of the function code set to 1.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device sending the
unsupported function code 39h to slave device 11.

B.3 FILE TRANSFERS APPENDIX B
B.3FILE TRANSFERS B.3.1 OBTAINING UR FILES VIA MODBUS
a) DESCRIPTION
The UR relay has a generic file transfer facility, meaning that you use the same method to obtain all of the different types of
files from the unit. The Modbus registers that implement file transfer are found in the "Modbus File Transfer (Read/Write)"
and "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" modules, starting at address 3100 in the Modbus Memory Map. To read a file from
the UR relay, use the following steps:
B 1. Write the filename to the "Name of file to read" register using a write multiple registers command. If the name is shorter
than 80 characters, you may write only enough registers to include all the text of the filename. Filenames are not case
sensitive.
2. Repeatedly read all the registers in "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" using a read multiple registers command. It is
not necessary to read the entire data block, since the UR relay will remember which was the last register you read. The
"position" register is initially zero and thereafter indicates how many bytes (2 times the number of registers) you have
read so far. The "size of..." register indicates the number of bytes of data remaining to read, to a maximum of 244.
3. Keep reading until the "size of..." register is smaller than the number of bytes you are transferring. This condition indi-
cates end of file. Discard any bytes you have read beyond the indicated block size.
4. If you need to re-try a block, read only the "size of.." and "block of data", without reading the position. The file pointer is
only incremented when you read the position register, so the same data block will be returned as was read in the pre-
vious operation. On the next read, check to see if the position is where you expect it to be, and discard the previous
block if it is not (this condition would indicate that the UR relay did not process your original read request).
The UR relay retains connection-specific file transfer information, so files may be read simultaneously on multiple Modbus
connections.
b) OTHER PROTOCOLS
All the files available via Modbus may also be retrieved using the standard file transfer mechanisms in other protocols (for
example, TFTP or MMS).
c) COMTRADE, OSCILLOGRAPHY, AND DATA LOGGER FILES

Oscillography and data logger files are formatted using the COMTRADE file format per IEEE PC37.111 Draft 7c (02 Sep-
tember 1997). The files may be obtained in either text or binary COMTRADE format.
d) READING OSCILLOGRAPHY FILES

Familiarity with the oscillography feature is required to understand the following description. Refer to the Oscillography sec-
tion in Chapter 5 for additional details.
The Oscillography Number of Triggers register is incremented by one every time a new oscillography file is triggered (cap-
tured) and cleared to zero when oscillography data is cleared. When a new trigger occurs, the associated oscillography file
is assigned a file identifier number equal to the incremented value of this register; the newest file number is equal to the
Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers register. This register can be used to determine if any new data has been captured by
periodically reading it to see if the value has changed; if the number has increased then new data is available.
The Oscillography Number of Records register specifies the maximum number of files (and the number of cycles of data
per file) that can be stored in memory of the relay. The Oscillography Available Records register specifies the actual num-
ber of files that are stored and still available to be read out of the relay.
Writing “Yes” (i.e. the value 1) to the Oscillography Clear Data register clears oscillography data files, clears both the Oscil-
lography Number of Triggers and Oscillography Available Records registers to zero, and sets the Oscillography Last
Cleared Date to the present date and time.
To read binary COMTRADE oscillography files, read the following filenames:
OSCnnnn.CFG and OSCnnn.DAT
Replace “nnn” with the desired oscillography trigger number. For ASCII format, use the following file names
OSCAnnnn.CFG and OSCAnnn.DAT

APPENDIX B B.3 FILE TRANSFERS
e) READING DATA LOGGER FILES

Familiarity with the data logger feature is required to understand this description. Refer to the Data Logger section of Chap-
ter 5 for details. To read the entire data logger in binary COMTRADE format, read the following files.
datalog.cfg and datalog.dat
To read the entire data logger in ASCII COMTRADE format, read the following files.
dataloga.cfg and dataloga.dat
To limit the range of records to be returned in the COMTRADE files, append the following to the filename before writing it:
B
• To read from a specific time to the end of the log: <space> startTime
• To read a specific range of records: <space> startTime <space> endTime
• Replace <startTime> and <endTime> with Julian dates (seconds since Jan. 1 1970) as numeric text.
f) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES

To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
EVTnnn.TXT (replace nnn with the desired starting record number)
To read from a specific record to another specific record, use the following filename:
EVT.TXT xxxxx yyyyy (replace xxxxx with the starting record number and yyyyy with the ending record number)
g) READING FAULT REPORT FILES

Fault report data has been available via the L90 file retrieval mechanism since UR firmware version 2.00. The file name is
faultReport#####.htm. The ##### refers to the fault report record number. The fault report number is a counter that
indicates how many fault reports have ever occurred. The counter rolls over at a value of 65535. Only the last ten fault
reports are available for retrieval; a request for a non-existent fault report file will yield a null file. The current value fault
report counter is available in “Number of Fault Reports” Modbus register at location 0x3020.
For example, if 14 fault reports have occurred then the files faultReport5.htm, faultReport6.htm, up to
faultReport14.htm are available to be read. The expected use of this feature has an external master periodically poll-
ing the “Number of Fault Reports' register. If the value changes, then the master reads all the new files.
The contents of the file is in standard HTML notation and can be viewed via any commercial browser.
B.3.2 MODBUS PASSWORD OPERATION
The COMMAND password is set up at memory location 4000. Storing a value of “0” removes COMMAND password protec-
tion. When reading the password setting, the encrypted value (zero if no password is set) is returned. COMMAND security
is required to change the COMMAND password. Similarly, the SETTING password is set up at memory location 4002.
These are the same settings and encrypted values found in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP PASSWORD SECURITY
menu via the keypad. Enabling password security for the faceplate display will also enable it for Modbus, and vice-versa.
To gain COMMAND level security access, the COMMAND password must be entered at memory location 4008. To gain
SETTING level security access, the SETTING password must be entered at memory location 400A. The entered SETTING
password must match the current SETTING password setting, or must be zero, to change settings or download firmware.
COMMAND and SETTING passwords each have a 30-minute timer. Each timer starts when you enter the particular pass-
word, and is re-started whenever you “use” it. For example, writing a setting re-starts the SETTING password timer and
writing a command register or forcing a coil re-starts the COMMAND password timer. The value read at memory location
4010 can be used to confirm whether a COMMAND password is enabled or disabled (0 for Disabled). The value read at
memory location 4011 can be used to confirm whether a SETTING password is enabled or disabled.
COMMAND or SETTING password security access is restricted to the particular port or particular TCP/IP connection on
which the entry was made. Passwords must be entered when accessing the relay through other ports or connections, and
the passwords must be re-entered after disconnecting and re-connecting on TCP/IP.

UR_UINT16 FLEXCURVE DATA (120 points)
A FlexCurve is an array of 120 consecutive data points (x, y) which
F070
are interpolated to generate a smooth curve. The y-axis is the user
HEX2 2 BYTES - 4 ASCII DIGITS
defined trip or operation time setting; the x-axis is the pickup ratio
and is pre-defined. Refer to format F119 for a listing of the pickup
ratios; the enumeration value for the pickup ratio indicates the off-
F071
set into the FlexCurve base address where the corresponding time HEX4 4 BYTES - 8 ASCII DIGITS
value is stored.

F012
DISPLAY_SCALE DISPLAY SCALING
(unsigned 16-bit integer)
MSB indicates the SI units as a power of ten. LSB indicates the F073
number of decimal points to display. HEX8 8 BYTES - 16 ASCII DIGITS
Example: Current values are stored as 32 bit numbers with three
decimal places and base units in Amps. If the retrieved value is
F074
12345.678 A and the display scale equals 0x0302 then the dis-
played value on the unit is 12.35 kA.

APPENDIX C IEC 61850 COMMUNICATIONSC.1INTRODUCTION C.1.1 OVERVIEW
The IEC 61850 standard is the result of years of work by electric utilities and vendors of electronic equipment to produce
standardized communications systems. IEC 61850 is a series of standards describing client/server and peer-to-peer com-
munications, substation design and configuration, testing, environmental and project standards. The complete set includes:
• IEC 61850-1: Introduction and overview
• IEC 61850-2: Glossary
• IEC 61850-3: General requirements
• IEC 61850-4: System and project management
• IEC 61850-5: Communications and requirements for functions and device models

• IEC 61850-10: Conformance testing
These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended that all those involved with
any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.
C.1.2 COMMUNICATION PROFILES
The L90 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks.
The TP4/CLNP profile requires the L90 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a
communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the L90 to have an IP address to establish communications. These
addresses are located in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK menu. Note that the L90
supports IEC 61850 over the TP4/CLNP or TCP/IP stacks, and also operation over both stacks simultaneously. It is possi-
ble to have up to four simultaneous connections (in addition to DNP and Modbus/TCP (non-IEC 61850) connections).
C.1.3 MMS PROTOCOL
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper (application) layer for transfer
of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number of years and provides a set of services suitable for the
transfer of data within a substation LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract ser-
vices in IEC 61850-8-1.
C.1.4 PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION
Peer-to-peer communication of digital state information (remote inputs/outputs) is supported using the IEC 61850 GSSE
and GOOSE services. This feature allows digital points to be exchanged between IEC 61850 conforming devices.
C.1.5 FILE SERVICES
MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record, or other files from a L90 relay.
GE Multilin L90 Line Differential Relay C-1

C.1 INTRODUCTION APPENDIX C
C.1.6 COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES
The exact structure and values of the supported IEC 61850 logical nodes can be seen by connecting to a L90 relay with an
MMS browser, such as the “MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS” DDE/OPC server from Sisco Inc.
C.1.7 NON-IEC 61850 DATA
The L90 relay makes available a number of non-IEC 61850 data items. These data items can be accessed through the
“UR” MMS domain. IEC 61850 data can be accessed through the “IECDevice” MMS domain (IEC 61850 logical device).
C.1.8 TCP CONNECTION TIMING
C A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the L90 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data
traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the L90. This frees up the con-
nection to be used by other clients. Therefore, when using IEC 61850 reporting, clients should configure report control
block items such that an integrity report will be issued at least every 2 minutes (120000 ms). This ensures that the L90 will
not abort the connection. If other MMS data is being polled on the same connection at least once every 2 minutes, this tim-
eout will not apply.
C.1.9 LOGICAL NODE MMXU DATA MAPPING
The mapping of L90 relay data to IEC 61850 MMXU data is performed on a per-source basis. MMXU1 data originates from
L90 source 1, MMXU2 data originates from L90 source 2, etc.
C.1.10 LOGICAL NODE GGIO DATA MAPPING
Logical node GGIO1 data is mapped using the L90 Flexstate parameters. Each single point indication in GGIO1 can be
selected using the corresponding Flexstate parameter setting. For example, the value of GGIO1 point “Ind3” is determined
from the FlexLogic™ operand selected in the Flexstate parameter 3 setting. Thus, GGIO1 data can originate as any Flex-
Logic™ parameter.
Logical node GGIO2 data is mapped to the L90 virtual inputs. Each single point control in GGIO2 is mapped to a virtual
input. For example, GGIO2 control point SPCSO3 is mapped to virtual input 3.
C.1.11 OTHER LOGICAL NODE MAPPING
All other IEC 61850 logical nodes (with the exception of PTRC) are associated with standard UR-series relay protection
elements and features. The following mapping is used (for applicable elements):
• PDIS: phase distance, ground distance
• PIOC: phase instantaneous overcurrent, neutral instantaneous overcurrent, ground instantaneous overcurrent, nega-
tive sequence instantaneous overcurrent
• PTOC: phase time overcurrent, neutral time overcurrent, ground time overcurrent, negative sequence time overcur-
rent, neutral directional overcurrent, negative sequence directional overcurrent
• PTUV: phase undervoltage, auxiliary undervoltage, third harmonic neutral undervoltage
• PTOV: phase overvoltage, neutral overvoltage, auxiliary overvoltage, negative sequence overvoltage
• RBRF: breaker failure
• RREC: autoreclosure
• RPSB: power swing detection
• RFLO: fault locator
• XCBR: breaker control

Explanation of ‘Sometimes’: Object 12 points are mapped to UR Virtual Inputs. The persistence of Virtual Inputs is
determined by the VIRTUAL INPUT X TYPE settings. Both “Pulse On” and “Latch On” operations perform the same func-
tion in the UR; that is, the appropriate Virtual Input is put into the “On” state. If the Virtual Input is set to “Self-Reset”,
it will reset after one pass of FlexLogic™. The On/Off times and Count value are ignored. “Pulse Off” and “Latch Off”
operations put the appropriate Virtual Input into the “Off” state. “Trip” and “Close” operations both put the appropriate
Virtual Input into the “On” state.

E.1.2 IMPLEMENTATION TABLE
The following table identifies the variations, function codes, and qualifiers supported by the L90 in both request messages
and in response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be
responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Static object requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be responded with qualifiers 17 or
28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.

Note 1: A default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. The default varia-
tions for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings. Refer to the Communications section in Chapter 5
for details. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respec-
tively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for change-
event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the L90 is not restarted, but the DNP process is restarted.

A counter freeze command has no meaning for counters 8 and 9. L90 Digital Counter values are represented as 32-bit inte-
gers. The DNP 3.0 protocol defines counters to be unsigned integers. Care should be taken when interpreting negative
counter values.

APPENDIX E E.2 DNP POINT LISTS
E.2.4 ANALOG INPUTS
The DNP analog input data points are configured through the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS DNP / IEC104 POINT
LISTS ANALOG INPUT / MME POINTS menu. Refer to the Communications section of Chapter 5 for additional details.
It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.
Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767 for 16-bit
values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement.
The deadbands for all Analog Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input
quantity measured in volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. This is in conformance with DNP Technical Bul-
letin 9809-001: Analog Input Reporting Deadband. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values according to
data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.

Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 2 (write, deadbands only), 22 (assign class)
Static Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (32-Bit Analog Input)
Change Event Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (Analog Change Event without Time)
Change Event Scan Rate: defaults to 500 ms
